Hi,
I encountered some strange behaviour in my Catalyst App regarding
determination of the home directory.
The App is the result of an attempt to manually merge two apps which I
know is error-prone in the first place but I can't help it at the
moment. And because the error I encountered seems to happen early in the
initialization cycle I think it may be resolvable.
The two Apps as well as the resulting App run with mod_perl but the
behavior is the same when starting the App with the test server via
script/myapp_server.pl.
So I created a directory /home/MyTest on the server and put the Modules
in there in accordance to the Catalyst directory structure.
Now Catalyst sets the home directory to /home/MyTest/lib/MyApp instead
of the expected /home/MyTest. As a quick fix I tried to use the -Home
flag as follows:
Don't delete the Makefile.PL
Catalyst works with installed apps as well as running the app from an
unpacked dist. Since Makefile.PL isn't installed, it uses that to work out
whether you've installed it or not.
Since without the Makefile.PL you also can't run 'make test' or 'make
installdeps' it's pretty insane to delete it anyway - so don't :)
