Re: [Catalyst] Recommended OS for Catalyst?

2009-08-12 Thread Alexander Hartmaier
I'm using debian stable since 3.0 after being pissed by RedHat shipping
unicode-horror perl 5.8.0 with custom + backported patches instead of
5.8.6 which was the newest stable version available at that time.

Never regretted it!

 Can you recommend a Linux distribution for production for Catalyst apps?

 Thanks.

I'm using both debian lenny (perl 5.10) and ubuntu hardy (perl 5.8) in  
production.


I've never had a problem with the perl version that debian ship, but  
obviously, using the distro perl ties you to a specific OS version. If  
this is likely to be a problem for you / you're not willing to put the  
effort into testing your app in sync with distro upgrades, then  
building your own perl would be recommended.


RedHat (or Centos) is also fine, however I'd _highly_ recommend  
building your own perl on those platforms - as RedHat have managed to  
ship a hideously broken perl on several occasions...

Out of curiosity, is there a recommended way to compile perl
specifically for use with Catalyst?

I've been using Arch Linux without a hitch to develop for years now.

Make sure you have a patched 5.10, otherwise you can get ambiguous
error messages. Catalyst will tell you if you're unpatched.

You're talking about 5.10.0 here.

At this point, I'd very much recommend using 5.10.1 RC1..
