I went to heroku in the past, checked their doc, did their mini tutorial to deploy and the experience is seamless.

I used GAE-J in the past, from preparing the environment to deploying to GAE server, the experience was a breeze.

I got CloudFoundry invite last month and I lost appetite pretty quick after checking their documentation.

Also: no Perl :-/

If you want a micro-cloud with Perl (and Python), check out Stackato at http://www.activestate.com/cloud. It is based on CloudFoundry, but enhanced with the additional languages and the ability to port existing apps ('run' and 'dbshell' functionality). Stackato has also been available in the micro-cloud format for months, with docs on how you might set up your own internal private cloud.

We have Perl on DotCloud! :-)
