Please leave the perl, libs and data directories but feel free to create
additional directories if needed.

recreated. Please store long term items (like an sqlite database) in
OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR which will persist between pushes of your repo.

required deps from scratch

hot_deploy Will prevent the apache process from being restarted during
build/deployment
disable_auto_scaling Will prevent scalable applications from scaling up
or down according to application load.
