Launch a Debian 5.0 instance. 

Install some basics:
   apt-get update
   apt-get install build-essential
   apt-get install locate
   apt-get install git-core
   apt-get install git-doc
   apt-get install telnet      # port connectivity testing
   apt-get install apache2

Install the latest Perl:
   mkdir src
   wget http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.12.2.tar.gz
   tar xvzf perl-5.12.2.tar.gz
   cd perl-5.12.2
   sh Configure -de
   make
   make test
   make install
   cp /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

Install Catalyst:
   cpan Task::Catalyst

Install FastCGI:
   http://www.iainlbc.com/2010/07/how-to-install-mod_fastcgi-on-ubuntu-lucid-10-04-lts/
   vi /etc/apt/sources.list
   Add these lines:
     deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted multiverse
     deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted multiverse
   apt-get update
   apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi

Create your Catalyst application:
   cd /var/www/odynug/www/perl/
   catalyst.pl ODLUG
   chmod +rx ODLUG/script/odlug_fastcgi.pl

Disable mod_default (Catalyst -> FastCGI doesn't like it)
   rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/deflate.*

Configure Apache for your new virtual host:
   vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/perl.odlug.org
   ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/perl.odlug.org /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/perl.odlug.org
   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Add a DNS entry.

All done. http://perl.odlug.org!
