Hi OfficeLinebacker,

I've done some things using OpenShift by RedHat. In the end, though, I want to use a more current Perl than 5.10, so the preconfigured gears are inadequate. A custom gear is not hard to set up. Then using git and cpanm, and bootstraping local::lib, seems like a good solution. It's still more complicated than it needs to be since OpenShift uses an unusual setup for installing modules. One lists them in a dependency file and OpenShift installs them. It works, it's free up to a point, and seems good for proof of concept kind of stuff.

I didn't know about Perl on Heroku. Sounds like it's worth a try.

chromatic posted something to Twitter a little while ago about cloudatcost.com. $12 a year, or $35 one time fee. I'm trying it out and so far am enjoying it. It's very easy to get started and one just installs whatever. Bootstraping local::lib, using cpanm, and using git is just easy and solid. I'm developing on my desktop/laptop, pushing to github and then cloning that from my cloudatcost server.
