So its Heroku for perl devs?

Apparently that's what it looks like... except it's a 15 year old who dun it. FTFA:

Your app is launched into a securely partitioned environment on a cloud server. All CPAN modules required by your app are installed. MySQL and memcached are automatically set up, and connection information is exposed to you via environmental variables. In front of your app sits a Varnish caching server, quietly improving the performance of your app.

More in the article, but that's already pretty amazing.
