After some really fantastic help & support from potyl I got Gtk3::WebKit to pass it's installation tests on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise, LTS).

Given that this requires one step that cpan/cpanm won't deal with out of the box, in the interests of documenting for the interwebs ...

Dependencies ... at least on Ubuntu 12.04:

aptitude install xvfb libgirepository1.0-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-0 gir1.2-webkit-3.0

A fresh new version of perlbrew is out that incorporates some sweet new sugar via arc:

perlbrew install --switch stable

Which expands as:

• Install the "latest stable" Perl - don't make me think about version numbers ;)
• When you're done, switch to it

        '--'; foo; '--';
    %]

This is one of those blog posts where I (ab)use blogs.perl.org to document some notes, primarily for myself ...

• Server A : is the old "Master"
• Server B : is the new "Master" (a rebuild of A) and for a transition period is replicating from A until it is promoted to the main Master and A can be switched off.
• Server C : currently replicates from A, however we want to instead move it to replicate from B in advance of replacing A with B.
