[Catalyst] Rackspace Ubuntu 14.04

[Duncan Garland]

Hi,

We don't use perlbrew on production, but I've used it in other areas
without a problem. As far as I know it's very highly regarded.

I've used local::lib successfully for development work ie Temporarily
pointing to some different modules.

I spent quite a lot of time at the beginning of this year trying to set it
up so that we could use it seriously. I wanted to be able to do a twice
yearly update from CPAN of all our modules into a seperate directory
structure so that it would be easy to revert if the updated tree turned out
to contain a bug.

local::lib plays nicely with cpan but not with cpanplus. The default way
for a Catalyst app to maintain it's dependencies is to maintain
Makefile.PL. When you run that it uses cpanplus. I struggled with it for
quite a while and gave up.

All the best.
