QUESTION
I have a small application running there using the heroku-buildpack-perl buildpack. It's just a small Plack application and it had been running fine for about two years.
But then, Heroku informed me that the stack it was running on was getting too old and I needed to upgrade it. "Just run a new deploy and the application will be installed to a new stack!" said they or something like that.
I inniciated a new deploy by creating an empty commit in the git repository, the deployment ran... but the application was crashing. From the logs I realised they updated the Perl version, but the deployment didn't update my XS libraries (I use local::lib, not sure if that's part of the buildpack or I set it up manually when creating the application back then).
In the end, I deleted the application and recreated it on the new stack, which worked OK. I don't keep any data anywhere so it was not a problem. What's the correct way to update the stack, though? There should be an option somewhere that tells Heroku to rebuild the dependencies, right?

QUESTION
I'm working with an application that downloads its own copy of Perl from a 3rd party website as a sort of bootstrap. I'd like to get a different copy from a more trusted source like CPAN, but I can't find any precompiled copies of Perl (only full source distributions) and I don't know how to build from source. Is there anywhere I can get a precompiled copy?
Another problem is that I don't know for sure that this download is just "a compiled copy of Perl". I'm assuming that, but I don't know what it's supposed to look like.
It comes in a .tar.gz which really only has two directories populated:

This is documented in INSTALL
in the distribution.
It's quite simple on a unix system:
QUESTION
The Heroku buildpack api documentation makes no mention of support for a config_vars property in the YAML hash exported by the release script. The only properties documented there are addons
and default_process_types
.
However, I have seen multiple custom buildpacks making use of such a property.
So my question is, is this some undocumented, working feature? Or is it a feature that has been removed and therefore undocumented?
If it's working, how exactly is it supposed to work? Does it just add the values as environment variables when the slug is running, or does it add them to the configuration you'd see through the management interface?
My guess is that it isn't working because the buildpack I'm using includes a PATH variable that isn't reflected in the PATH I see when I log in to the ad hoc console. However it's possible that I misunderstand how the feature works, or that my release script is broken.
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Oct-19 at 00:37It turns out that it's an undocumented feature which currently works.
Just like the behavior of the addons property provided by the release script, the config_vars property provided by the same script will only be processed the FIRST time the app is deployed.
It creates entries in the config vars which are visible through the management tool, and these will then be available as environment variables in the app.
So if you change the value of config_vars in your custom buildpack, the change will NOT be reflected in any existing apps that have already been deployed using that buildpack. This includes if you change to a different branch of the Git repo where your custom buildpack is stored which has a different release script.
