  What sort of limitations do these cheapo shared hosting plans have, which prevented running a CPAN client like cpanminus to install modules? Disk space? Availability of compilers? RAM?

  Perhaps a tool to bundle Perl modules can help, so that installing Catalyst and its non-core dependencies is just a matter of doing something like ‘tar xfz catalyst-bundle-20121016.tar.gz’.

  Some of the dependencies upon which Catalyst depends are hopelessly broken and non-installable without a force option. This has not changed over the 6 years we used Catalyst.

  Hmm. It was a problem in the early days (remember CatInABox?), but installing Catalyst with just a cpan -i Catalyst::Runtime and then going away for half an hour has not been a problem for me in many years. (Well, cpanm nowadays – which didn’t even exist back when I stopped having problems.)

  Nowadays I need to the cpanm twice – once wi…

I still study Software Engineering course based (with small things about Computer Science) here in the Brazil. My Intro to Development Web teacher was working with Perl in the 90’s years, but now he is work with C# (He was work with too, before, Assembly, Fortran, Cobol, C, etc…, good people).…
