App::FatPacker::Simple or its frontend C<fatpack-simple> helps you
fatpack a script when B<YOU> understand the whole dependencies of it.

For tutorial, please look at L<App::FatPacker::Simple::Tutorial>.

=head1 MOTIVATION

App::FatPacker::Simple is an alternative for L<App::FatPacker>'s
C<fatpack file> command.
Let me explain why I wrote this module.

L<App::FatPacker> brings more portability to Perl, that is totally awesome.

As far as I understand, App::FatPacker does 3 things:

=over 4

=item (a) trace dependencies for a script

=item (b) collects dependencies to C<fatlib> directory

=item (c) fatpack the script with modules in C<fatlib>

=back

As for (a), I have often encountered problems. For example,
modules that I don't want to trace trace,
conversely, modules that I DO want to trace do not trace.
Moreover a core module has changed interfaces or has been bug-fixed recently,
so we have to fatpack that module with new version, etc.
So I think if you author intend to fatpack a script,
B<YOU> need to understand the whole dependencies of it.

As for (b), to locate modules in a directory, why don't you use
C<carton> or C<cpanm>?

So the rest is (c) to fatpack a script with modules in directories,
on which App::FatPacker::Simple concentrates.

That is, App::FatPacker::Simple only fatpacks a script with features:

=over 4

=item * automatically perl-strip modules

=item * has option to exclude some modules

=back
