Using the php-buildpack to deploy Perl to PCF

The php-buildpack gives you a configurable Apache HTTPd web server that can be configured to run Perl scripts as some or all of the application. There are a couple of options to run Perl:

  1. Perl CGI using mod_cgi
  2. Customer Apache modules using mod_perl

This repo is a demonstration app that configured both of these. The app is structured in the following way to get things to be configured correctly:

  1. The files under lib were built using https://github.com/bstarke/apt-cf-packager to build libapache2-mod-perl2 against the PCF container's environment.

  2. The files under .bp-config are used to configure the php-buildpack. These files were taken from the default configuration files in the buildpack's source in order to maintain the default behavior, then modified to enable mod_cgi and mod_perl.

  3. The files under htdocs are served as publicly-accessible files by httpd.

  4. The files under modules are added to mod_perl's @INC and contain the application's custom Handlers and modules.
