Heroku buildpack: Perl

This is a Heroku buildpack that runs any PSGI based web applications using Starman.

$ ls
cpanfile
app.psgi
lib/

$ cat cpanfile
requires 'Plack', '1.0000';
requires 'DBI', '1.6';

$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/miyagawa/heroku-buildpack-perl.git

$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Fetching custom buildpack
-----> Perl/PSGI app detected
-----> Installing dependencies

The buildpack will detect that your app has an app.psgi in the root or in a directory called webapp.

Libraries

Dependencies can be declared using cpanfile (recommended) or more traditional Makefile.PL, Build.PL and META.json (whichever you can install with cpanm --installdeps), and the buildpack will install these dependencies using cpanm into ./local directory.
