Is it possible to run multiple installs of Perl (in “containers”) on one machine?
Reason is that I have different Perl-based server side web applications and wish to schedule updates to them independently.
For example, bugzilla upgrades seem to me to be very invasive, downloading all manner or module updates and lengthy, too (thereby increasing the chance of unpredictable behavior on other applications that depend on those modules, during the time that the upgrade is still partial).
I think it should be possible to run multiple independent server-side CGI Perl applications on one server, I’d rather not be told to separate them onto different machines – I think that’s wasteful and I don’t have that resource anyway.
