in reply to Perl orientated Web Hosting, 2008

Does it have to have mod_perl?

fastcgi is just as fast and a lot easier to set up.

Currently, I've got unlimited bandwidth/storage on my DH account. As Limbic~Region said, I've been wanting to set something up for perl friendly hosting. If you're interested, perhaps we could chat about setting you up with something. It's shared hosting, but it runs my fastcgi stuff pretty quickly.

Perhaps you could elaborate a little more on what you're trying to do and we could give you some more advice.

meh.

    I don't require mod perl. I prefer postgresql as a db.

    I'd like a production server that fits into my workflow, which is:
    • develop on my development box (or just my home computer or laptop) and run test suite
    • check in the changes into subversion (over ssh) on an existing internet accessible box.
    • ssh to production box, update the working copy of the subversion branch and run the test suite on it (the tests run in this sandbox)
    • update the production web server (think "make install")
    Some modules I use are shown below (from my Makefile.PL): 
      PREREQ_PM => {
      'Test::More'              => 0,
      'Log::Log4perl'           => 0.49,
      'Test::WWW::Mechanize'    => 0,
      'Test::HTML::Lint'        => 0,
      'Spreadsheet::WriteExcel' => 2.12,
      'Apache::TestMM'          => 0,
      'Template'                => 0,
      'CGI::Application'        => 4.0,
      'CGI::Application::Plugin::TT' => 0,
      'HTML::Tidy'              =>1.08,
      'Test::HTML::Tidy'        =>1.00,
    },

      Hi jimx11,

      I can set you up with shell access, and you can choose to use Pg if you'd like, as it's available on the host I use (I'd be reselling to you through Dreamhost). You can also enable your own perl module environment through their process they have documented, or I could do it for you (my hourly is $30 USD).

      I'm not sure about the Apache:: module, whether it requires mod_perl or not, but you can certainly give it a shot.

      If you have any further questions, please let me know.

      meh.
