Hi. I made ppm packages of Catalyst/Catalyst-Runtime/Catalyst-Devel
for ActivePerl. For the repository info and other caveats, see
http://ppm.tcool.org/

And as I wrote there, I have one problem. Though you can safely
ppm-install Catalyst-Runtime, after you have done that, you may
fail to ppm-install Catalyst plugins properly, because ppm tries
to follow plugins' dependency list, and tries to install the package
named 'Catalyst' and finds that the newer version have already
installed by other package. Installing older version might break
that package. So, ppm stops proceeding, saying it failed to install
'Catalyst'. Boo.

At the moment, I haven't rewrite plugins' dependencies to request
Catalyst-Runtime/-Devel instead of Catalyst, mainly because my repos
provides fewer plugins, and Catalyst plugins tend to be easy to
install, compared to Plagger or Jifty. Upgrading plugins to require
Catalyst::Runtime (or ::Devel) would make ppm users happy, though
I don't care for myself. Any ideas?
