I'd like to see a cookbook as well, with some specific things related to
production deployment...

 - best practices from the get-go
 - PAR deployments (multiple apps on same machine, having Perl inside
PAR w/ static outside for web server)
 - FastCGI internal/external (LSB init scripts)
 - Apache/lighttpd
 - mod_perl
 - database load balancing at the model
(DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replication?)
 - web load balancing (Apache mod_proxy, mod_proxy_balancer (2.2),
perlbal)

If my bosses are OK with it (they probably will be) I'd be willing to
contribute some of my own experiences with some of the above items.
