Depends. I prefer having an application perl and each deployment having its own self-contained lib tree, makes upgrades etc. much less risky. If you're wanting to go the apt route then the ubuntu repos already have quite a bit, then add http://debian.pkgs.cpan.org/, then add dh-make-perl and/or CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb for any stragglers (and your application itself). As for 'production suitability', I'd point at - http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/LiveApplications which is just the people who've made a point of adding themselves (and I know of plenty that haven't, some of which I can't talk about, many more of which I don't remember the URLs to :) -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
