Here's our current dev-to-deploy approach -- we use mercurial and a three-step staging process:
A) sandbox/dev server: dev-server$ vi lib/*/blah/yadda dev-server$ CATALYST_DEBUG=1 script/*_server.pl test dev-server:3000 plenty -- lots of iterating, and then prep for deploy-testing: dev-server$ hg addremove dev-server$ perl Makefile.PL dev-server$ make manifest dev-server$ hg ci -m "log message here" now, on deployment server: B) live environment, sandbox port 3000: deploy$ hg fetch deploy$ CATALYST_DEBUG=0 script/*_server.pl now we test deploy:3000 and if all is well... C) full "live" deployment: deploy$ perl Makefile.PL && make deploy$ sudo make install && sudo apache2ctl graceful Pretty sweet so far!
