Re: [Catalyst] Deploying with Perlbrew
Personally I now build a perl rpm package (based around perlbrew, parallel installs with the system perl - based in /opt/perl) which includes everything within Task::Work (a task module I maintain) and builds against a mini cpan snapshot which is occasionally updated as I see fit. Build takes less than 2 hours, and works on 2 OS releases (Centos 5 + 6) under 2 architectures. However I don't have a lot of skewed application sets to work with so working to one blessed perl package is OK for me...

And it's probably more readable for people not knowing the Authentication internals Its worth pointing out that http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Internals does not document the check_password method, and so those implementing credentials may not implement it.
