Perl buildpack

Using

heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack <your-github-url>

By default, .pl files will be served.

Libraries

/lib in your application is added to the perl library search path

Customizing

By default, we generate a .htaccess like this:

# Serve .pl scripts
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all 
DirectoryIndex index.pl

If you provide your own .htaccess it will override this, so you can set custom handlers etc.

Creating the binaries

Run vagrant up in the packager dir. This will compile the required executables.
