I'm not sure how else to coerce Google into always linking to the most recent version of whatever it finds. That, and the "Latest Release" on CPAN is busted. It points to 5.7003 which then goes to a Not Found page. Ick. And for more on-topic goodness, Catalyst::Manual for 5.8 is also out: http://search.cpan.org/~hkclark/Catalyst-Manual-5.8000/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/05_Authentication.pod If you go to http://search.cpan.org/ you can find the most recent there... I tend to ignore Google when I'm searching for technical documentation as it often comes up short. Having said that, sorry for your experience here. It's a pretty bad and frustrating user experience to follow a guide that is outdated purely because Google told you :) Since it seems the example app is also out of date, perhaps someone should update that (I may be able to... if nobody else beats me to it) -J
