Ansible (was: Deploying perl code)

[Eric Johnson]

Have you looked at Rex?  They have pretty good docs: http://rexify.org

Its a deployment type tool vaguely like ansible/puppet/chef/salt/whatever
and its written in Perl and it looks pretty nice.  I've personally never
used Rex for real anywhere though.

I wrote up a little intro to using rex (the comments might be interesting
too):
