Marco Fontani wrote up an excellent blog post on deploying Dancer apps to DotCloud’s beta.

DotCloud is a PaaS (platform as a service) hosting platform currently in beta, running on Amazon EC2. It promises dead-easy deployment of Perl web applications. (DotCloud announced Perl support as CaaS (Camel as a Service) recently.)

Marco’s write-up shows that it is indeed simple; push your Dancer app to DotCloud, and it figures out the dependencies, installs them, and starts it up. As the little meerkat would say, “simples!”.
