Fellow monks;

I'm tired of programming Python all day. For my next back-40 project, I'd like to try building a web application in Perl. I keep reading all the blog posts about Moose, Mojolicious, KiokuDB, and other neat projects and I'm green with envy. I miss Perl!

I'm curious what insights the monks can offer in how to package web applications. I'm thinking of using Module::Build, but am really open to suggestions. My main concern is how one would package a Mojolicious-based application; but general advice about how to include an executable script for starting the application would be appreciated as well.

Also, I've become a bit of a fan of sandbox development environments by way of scripts such as zc.buildout and virtualenv in the Python world. Is there any such equivalent in Perl?

Thanks in advance for all of your replies.
