in thread LAMP and hosting: Convenient Perl solution, similar to PHP setup?

I am also in that research right now... I tried a lot on my shared host, Dreamhost, which is great in terms of storage amount and lots more, but in any perl framework I wanted to try I always ended up not being able to compile some crucial modules... must be the 5.8.4 or something but it seems like a great host for PHP but no joy for perl... so insteat of trying to find a new host that would allow me to live my perl framework exploration, I choosed a new strategy: to do the exploration part of my developpement localy, in a virtual os inside VirtualBox, then I will know what it is exactly that I need in a host and will be a better shopper... maybe I'll discover I don't need root access or I'll find out its absolutely necessary.

    Dreamhost allows you to compile your own perl and your own modules to your heart's content. I have done that on my $8 a month plan.

      have you been able to run Catalyst? also, I get odd results trying to compile modules that require the newest version of Carp which I could also not compile...

      Have you got the latest Carp to compile? also, Catalyst was a no go for me...

        Carp is CORE
