mojolicious -> Google App Engine

This is a simple guide to running mojolicious on Google App Engine.

1. Create a new mojolicious app

2. Create an app.yaml in the root of your application with the following contents:

   runtime: custom
   vm: true
   api_version: 1

3. Create a Dockerfile in the root of your application with the following contents:

   FROM perl:latest
   RUN curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - -M https://cpan.metacpan.org -n Mojolicious
   ENV MOJO_LISTEN http://*:8080
   ADD . /app
   EXPOSE 8080
   WORKDIR /app
   RUN chmod +x main.pl
   CMD ["./main.pl", "daemon"]

4. Create a project in the Google Developers Console.

5. Make sure you have the Google Cloud SDK installed.

   $ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash 
   $ gcloud init
   $ gcloud components update app

6. Deploy your app:

   gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml --set-default --project [your-project-id]

You are now running perl on App Engine. How cool is that? Check it out at https://mojolicious-demo.appspot.com/.
