First build of 5.10.1 and local::lib

The latest Perl localizes very nicely.  Following these very simple instructions I was able to install it into my home directory.  I then modified my .bash_profile to search the local perl bin area:

[jnapiorkowski@perlbuilder ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/local/bin:$PATH

In this case I added "$HOME/loca/bin" so that search path lookups find my Perl over the system Perl.  I then used "http://github.com/jjn1056/catalyst-app-example-locallibapp/tree" to setup my fully local::lib deployments of my various catalyst applications.  Everything worked as expected.

Result?  Localized Perl that is separate from you system Perl, plus local::lib for each deployed application, keeping everything nice and cleanly separated.  Now when I need to deploy this to stage and then to production I can simple use rsync against my home directory and target my stage or production boxes (since my build box is a template for stage and production).  Combined with CPAN::mini I could even have my own local cpan server with 'approved' versions of modules.  Personally since I try to help fix stuff when it breaks, I try to grab the newest of everything, but if you are on a more conservative setup, looking at your own minicpan might be valuable.
