@draegtun – thanks for pointing out Pake. After you left your comment, I found your answer on Stack Overflow so I should have checked there first.

@bokutin – Sunaba doesn’t seem to be a complete alternative to Heroku yet (although it is a very generous offering)

From the website: “Sunaba is an experimental service … Services can be interrupted, shutdown or blocked at any time at their own will. NO WARRANTY. Use at your own risk.”

@zloyrusskiy – I think either I have misunderstood the purpose of capistrano or you have. I thought it was a deployment tool which was used in addition to your source control. How can git deploy to multiple servers?

And for whitespace, I like it in Perl, why is it bad in Python?

There is no need in capistrano for Perl. Git can do all as you need + much more.

Python is ugly for it’s whitespaces, Ruby is greedy for system resources.

Perl is beauty and strong, it’s all i need.

re: Rake clones in Perl.

There are two… Pake (http://search.cpan.org/dist/pake/) and App-PPBuild (though this as fallen off CPAN? But you can find it on BackPAN).

I’ve never used either of the above so YMMV. Instead I have my own perl “clone” of Rake which I use for $work. Perhaps one day I’ll tidy it up and upload to Github/CPAN?
