I did a lot of Perl CGI.pm stuff many years ago. What's the state of Perl for building web apps? Is it comparable to Python or Ruby? Where should an old Perl program start these days?
I see that it's looking for a special file named Perloku and then expecting to execute that. Would it maybe be better to look for a Makefile.PL, use that to build, and then work with the standard Procfile system that Heroku has? That would be altogether more flexible.<p>You could also mandate using Carlton[1], which someone downthread mentioned as "bundler for perl". It's alpha at the moment, but that shouldn't stop anyone from using it.<p>[1]: <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/carton-v0.9.3/lib/Carton.pod" rel="nofollow">http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/carton-v0.9.3/lib/Carton.po...</a>
