Mr. Hodgkinson was awesome enough to point out the existence of
DotCloud: https://docs.dotcloud.com/#perl.html
Looks there like they have a Perl stack available, which is super for
the world but not so for me since the stack requires you use PSGI which
is a great approach but since I don't require portability I never went
that route, oh woe is me...
Anyway, it's good to see there's some good Perl options out there for
getting rid of my admin(s).
Thanks Dave!

Those are all roadblocks to development, much like your responses are to
this discussion.
My life would be a different experience if I could pay for six months of
your time whenever I wanted to create a new web application.
It would be nice to fire up a mod_perl stack somewhere (say EC2) and
then just modify startup.pl and install your required modules and go.
The dev world is moving away from requiring system administrators and
towards more PaaS'.

I'm not happy, hence the complaining about the AMI from 2009. But
I'm glad you changed the subject from your first one, which is that
I should build my own stack.
So basically you are saying (and only you, not a community voice)
that in order to be a mod_perl developer one also needs to:
1) Build and optimize Apache.
2) Build and optimize MySql.
3) Build and optimize Perl+mod_perl.
4) Build and optimize a Linux server environment.

5) Have enough money to pay for all of the above.
You have no stack.
Make one.
Better still, get a bunch of people together with the same problem.
Dunno where
you'd find 'em.
I just spent six months helping a company do exactly[0] this and
move off a dated
RH platform onto a modern, current, Debian, perl 5.14, all new CPAN
modules.
You seem to have missed the point of my kvetching, which is perhaps a
suitable answer anyway.
What was the point?
