A big problem I ran into is that when Module::Build is downloaded via CPAN and auto-configured, cc compilation is disabled by default. You get: Module::Build is not configured with C_support So, I had to manually build Module::Build, outside of CPAN, in order to get this turned on (it needs a special flag at the command line). I wish I would've saved all the error output. Several modules were missing, throwing fatal errors, and if you manually installed those it kinda worked (along with Module::Build reconfig). But not everything was properly expressed in Makefile.PL dependencies. At the end of it, I still wound up with Catalyst 5.6x somehow, which I had to reinstall via CPAN again ("install Catalyst::Runtime"). -Nate _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
