For a number of web-applications I need something like Capistrano to automate deployment. I know Capistrano can be used to deploy non-ruby applications but I'm not familiar with Ruby, so I expect writing deployment configurations can be a bit of a pain.
So I was wondering, are there any alternatives to Capistrano written in either Perl of Lua?
Also, forgot to mention, the platform running the deployments is Windows (XP). So Capistrano is already more or less out of the question. Although I found out it can run with the MINGW32 Bash shell that comes with Git for Windows.
