I've been using Python's Buildout for a while and I really like it. My company has a lot of systems developed in Perl and I'm wondering if there is something similar to either Python's Buildout or Ruby's RVM available for Perl. My goal is to be able to automate deployments, development environment setup, and manage dependencies.

A:
I must admit I have heard today the first time about the software you named, but reading the introduction material there is a difference in purpose between Buildout and RVM. An equivalent of the former is Shipwright, of the latter – perlbrew.

Thanks, I will check those out. Unless something else comes along I will accept this answer as correct.

@daxim is Shipwright something that you use? I've been playing with it and I haven't really been able to accomplish much of anything. The documentation is lacking. I see how it gets all of my dependencies bundled together, but then what? How do I get from a vessel to a deployed working product?
