<div><font size="2">So, I'm trying to learn Modern Perl workflows,</font></div>
<div><font size="2">and I heard it's best to do all your development on a
development server,</font></div>
<div><font size="2">rather than mess around with code live, on the production
server.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">So let's say I've coded my Catalyst app on a dev server, and
it's in a folder called MyApp....</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Do I just copy the MyApp folder to the Production
Server?</font></div>
<div><font size="2">[Am likely to copy and paste the folder using
Cyberduck].</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">I mean, assuming the production server is setup to run it, and
so forth...</font></div>
<div><font size="2">Let's for example say, I'd already published Version 1.0 of my
website on the production server.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">And it's running from a MyApp directory on the production
server.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Then I code a version 2.0 on my development server, in a
folder called MyApp, and I want to publish that....</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">...do I just again, copy MyApp from my development server,
over to my production server?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Obviously, new files would overwrite old ones.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">What about if version 2.0 saw me delete some old unused stuff,
do I have to make a note of what they were,</font></div>
<div><font size="2">and go through the folder on the production server and delete
them?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Or is there some graceful way to sync the development and
production versions of my code?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">What are other people doing?</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Grateful for any insights.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">Yours,</font></div>
