[Catalyst] Shared Host Setup

[Mesdaq, Ali]

Someone said they were going to write a advent calendar entry for using
local::lib so I was waiting for that. But just wanted to share my
solution as an alternative because some shared hosts are big pains to
work with. Some don't even allow outbound connections so using cpan is
not an option. So you would basically have to package everything up and
lay it down.

Thanks,

Other than being much, much more effort than local::lib and potentially
vulnerable to library/compiler/etc. versioning issues, no, it seems
fine.

I just have better things to do with my life than set up a complete OS
install for a simple shared deployment :)
