<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>
