Yes, me too. Shame as it was just the solution I was looking for:

$ ls /home/martin/Downloads/ZMQ-FFI-1.11.tar.gz
/home/martin/Downloads/ZMQ-FFI-1.11.tar.gz

$ cat cpanfile

requires 'ZMQ::FFI', 'file:///home/martin/Downloads/ZMQ-FFI-1.11.tar.gz';

$ carton install
Installing modules using /home/martin/xxx/cpanfile
Can't convert 'file:///home/martin/Downloads/ZMQ-FFI-1.11.tar.gz': Invalid version format (non-numeric data)
Installing modules failed
