Argh.  Try installing Task::Catalyst::Tutorial.  That installs all of
the modules you need for everything in that tutorial.

Module::Build offers an html target for exactly this purpose.  To
report it I would suggest looking in the module near the copyright
section.  There usually are instructions on the preferred way of
sending enhancement requests.  If you can't find that then you can
always go to http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?cpan_rt.
But don't do that until after you see whether there are instructions
in the module.  (There usually are.)

There are reasons I suggested doing this on Unix instead. :-P

Though truth is that going through Beginning Perl would warn her about this.
