[ic] Interchange 5/6 demo testing environment

[Sam Batschelet]

Interchange Community,
I came up with an idea for creating an interchange demo testing environment using camps (devcamps.org) wanted to see if people felt it would be useful.  The problem I see is it is generally complicated to test multiple versions of Interchange with multiple versions of Perl.  This problem was brought to light again yesterday as a community member posted what appears to be an issue with Safe in the 5.8 branch.  Also with Josh's new strap template we have multiple demos that need monitoring.  I have been working on utilizing Carton and Perlbrew most recently Plenv after introduction from Richard Templet.  These scripts along with camps  could create a really interesting testing application.  Without getting into a long drawn out email here is how it would work.

To visually test a demo of interchange you would first select a perl version followed by an interchange version i.e. testing.com/perl-5.14.3/ic-5.7.6/.  Nginx using fastcgi would manage the routes under the hood.  On the server side plenv and carton would manage perl and the module dependencies.  

Most of this I already have working besides the carton management script which I planned to build anyways for IC6 testing.  This would take a bit of time to get going and I am getting pretty swamped but if this interests enough people I can start playing with it.

Input/chastising appreciated.
