in reply to deploying Perl project to production

Count this as another vote for the 'install in a directory with the name of the version, and sym-link to that' -- I used that practice at $work[-2] and it worked very smoothly.

And at $work[-1], we use DEBIAN's dpkg to smoosh everything up into a neat little package -- works great.

    I use dh-make-perl to produce .deb packages and it makes things quite smooth if your Perl project is in CPAN or follows common Perl practices. As a matter of fact, I recently used dh-make-perl to make the Padre Perl IDE packages for Ubuntu Hardy, including a few other dependencies.
