David Golden reported: Cooking Perl with Chef Grant Completion Report I am pleased to report the completion of my TPF grant, "Cooking Perl with Chef". The goal of this grant was to create ready-to-use tools and supporting tutorials that teach Perl developers how to deploy Perl applications repeatable and reliably using the Chef configuration management tool. In the section of the original proposal on my motivations for this grant, I

While translating perlobj.pod, a bug in sample code was detected and reported through perlbug.

David Golden reported: Overview For those wondering about of updates on this grant, I'm pleased to be back with some significant progress on the teaching deliverables. Some circumstances in my personal life required me to put the grant on the back burner during June, but July and OSCON-centered conference-driven development have allowed me to rebuild some momentum. In particular, I have three things to announce: perlchef.com is now live. This

It provides several "lightweight resource providers" that use perlbrew to

David Golden reported: I have adapted the "proof of concept" code that I demonstrated at Perl Oasis based on issues discovered subsequently. The code is sufficient to deploy the "Hello World" application that will be the basis for one of the tutorials and the presentation. Over the next couple weeks, I will be working on documentation and preparing the "cookbooks" for release to Opscode's community Chef repository. I will also
