Which term refers to a Perl framework that takes manual release processes and makes them automated?

• A. Automation
• B. Erros
• C. Bootstrap
• D. Traffic

Answer: (C)

Bootstrapping is the idea of turning a manual, step-by-step release process into an automated workflow. In release engineering, a bootstrap framework provides the scaffolding, configuration, and tasks needed to kick off a release automatically—handling environment setup, dependencies, packaging, signing, and deployment in a repeatable way. The term captures starting from a minimal setup and building out an automated pipeline, which is exactly what a Perl framework designed to automate manual release steps would do. That’s why it fits best. The other options are too generic or unrelated: automation is a broad concept, not a specific Perl framework; Erros and Traffic don’t reflect a framework for automating releases.
