We're working on switching from using an ancient system Perl (5.8) to a modern Perl using Perlbrew and carton. Our code uses the Catalyst Web framework and runs fine with carton and perlbrew when run directly.

We're now trying to integrate it into our production server. There we use fastcgi through apache. Part of the complication is that for security reasons, we do not want the Perlbrew install to be writable by the apache/web user.

Also since Apache is invoked through init.d, sourcing a perlbrew bashrc file is more complicated

I was wondering if there are any best practices for integrating a Perlbrew/carton managed app into Apache. I'm googled and searched on Perlmonks but could not find anything appropriate.

Thanks in advance
