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!

I totally agree.
I would like to add that I have developed Catalyst apps on Linux and
deployed them on Windows (and vice-versa) with no trouble.
By "no-trouble" I mean that Catalyst itself can figure out where it's
running and takes care of the low-level details, *without the user
having to change a single line of code*.
There are of course CPAN modules that are troublesome to install from
source (because generally speaking compiling from source is not as easy
on Windows as it is on Linux), but those are rare exceptions. One can
often get through by adding one or two major non-activestate ppm repos
providing those packages.
