Recently there have been a number of messages relating to the difficulties of installing Catalyst on Windows.
Although installing Perl-modules on Windows-machines is always a bit difficult, I find that Catalyst and its related modules are not more difficult to install than the average other module. A recent version of ActiveState Perl, the "mingw" package/environment, a well configured CPAN and CPANPLUS and finally PPM (with such extra repositories such as the one provided by Randy Kobes) makes installing modules (and Catalyst) an almost painless effort. I'm not saying *everything* works but until now I did not encounter a real show-stopper. YMMV of course, but before blaming Catalyst, perhaps it can do no harm if you first check your own set-up and see if you can install other modules without trouble. "Hats off" to the Catalyst developers who truly succeeded in bringing us this wonderful framework!
