It might help if you explained more what you are trying to accomplish. Capistrano and Net::Amazon::EC2 don't do at all the same thing.

Are you wanting to use Perl to start and stop Amazon EC2 instances? Then your options are to use Net::Amazon::EC2 or to run the EC2 API command line tools from inside a Perl program.

If you're looking for ways to configure new Linux boxes using software based on Perl, then that has very little to do specifically with EC2. Since Amazon EC2 instances are running various Linux distros and you have root access, you can use any system configuration software which runs on Linux, including Capistrano.
