I would like to use the Perl Catalyst Framework on a Shared Hosting Service, but I don’t know if there are any that do support it. Are there minimum requirements in order to be able to run a catalyst app?
Any help is appreciated.

We had a demo of deploying a perl app (it wasn’t Catalyst based, but that’s neither here nor there) to DotCloud at our local Perl Mongers’ meeting a couple of weeks ago. Deploying a Catalyst app was discussed, and there’s certainly no technical impediment. My situation is similar to yours, but my app is not quite ready for deployment.
UPDATE
I have now successfully deployed my Catalyst app on dotcloud, and have been quite pleased with the results. It’s been running there now for a couple of weeks, and I have found the dotcloud environment quite easy to work with, as far as pushing new code, restarting the service and so on is concerned. There is official documentation, and a Catalyst-specific walk-through.
More recently, Phillip Smith has recently written an updated, Catalyst-specific guide.
