Presumably because the manual module has no version:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 


It also doesn't return a true value - I'm not sure what the deal it with
POD-only modules and "1;", but I'm sure it can't hurt to have it there,
can it?

  


It's almost certainly a mistake to use or require a pod-only module, so 
returning false could be seen as a feature. It also appears there's no 
package there, so it can't technically be considered a module. In fact, 
I just noticed that the Catalyst::Manual in 5.55 is a .pod file.


There's a distribution for Catalyst-Manual, which does have a $VERSION. 
This is probably what is being alluded to in Catalyst::Devel

Hey Ali,

Your best bet is to download the tarball from CPAN and install it
manually: 
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JR/JROCKWAY/Catalyst-Manual-5.701003.tar.gz

I'm not sure what the problem is, but something changed in the
Catalyst-Manual package that caused it to no longer be able to be
installed via CPAN.  Hopefully this gets fixed soon, as it's rather
frustrating for users.

Also, you can use my interim static doc browser system I'm working
with at http://catsite.toeat.com/docs/Catalyst-Manual-Intro.html

Hope this helps.

-Jay

Well, I downloaded Catalyst (on windows of course) using the using the
cat-install script.
So apparently the script did sucessfully install the latest Catalyst::Runtime

But it only installed few pod documents Catalyst::Manual,
Catalyst::Manual::About and Catalyst::Manual::Installation

I want the Intro and tutorial pages hopefully in html format too, what
can I do?

  Sorry isn't an excuse when you do something stupid on purpose.

The manuals are part of the runtime distribution:

http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.7012/lib/Catalyst/Manual.pm

If you install Catalyst::Runtime you should find that you have the
manuals.

[Catalyst] Can I install the catalyst manual from cpan?

2008-03-16 Thread Ali M.
If yes how?

I just recently started using the Strawberry Perl distribution, so I
am new to CPAN too!

I tried "Catalyst::Manual" and "Catalayst-Manual"  but I get

-
...
Warning: Cannot install Catalyst-Manual, don't know what it is.
Try the command

i /Catalyst-Manual/

to find objects with matching identifiers.



Of course   i /Catalyst-Manual/ finds nothing!

I want to be able to browse the docs offline, so I don't insist on
downloading the docs from cpan, if anyone have an html of pdf download
for the docs, it will do

:)
thank you
