Hi Octavian,

Maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to do but ou are trying
to use a deprecated module (see the output of your email above).  You

Ok, I think I know what's the problem. The problem is that I am using an older version of Catalyst, and I have followed the examples from Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial that gives an example of using:

script/tutorial_create.pl model UserData DBIC dbi:SQLite:/path/to/mydb.db

Catalyst might be elegant, but not for Windows where everything works very hard, not because of Windows but because Catalyst and the modules it uses are very poor compatible with Windows.

I've been using ActivePerl (free edition) for almost 1,5 years now, 90% of the time to develop Catalyst applications. I even deployed some of them under apache 2.0.5x / modperl2 under windows server 200x. Most of the problems I found (wrt modules installation) were not related to Catalyst itself (which is as cross platform as Perl can be), but because of some not-pure-perl modules, which of course don't compile under windows by default, because _windows_ doesn't offer almos any dev tool out of the box.

This is not a Catalyst-specific issue, but a Perl vs. Windows issue.

This response is already OT enough, so I will not go into details here. Let me just list some options you have: * install the free visual c++ toolkit (no ide, just the compiler/linker) or some other c compiler
* use cygwin
* get ppd files (pre-compiled ActiveState packages created from CPAN modules) * search for pure perl modules that do the same thing as the xs ones (e.g. Cache::FastMMap is not the only cache module supported by Catalyst)


I have tried installing the latest version of Catalyst using cpan, but there were too many errors to be able to fix them all. (I guess that the Tutorial from the latest version is updated and doesn't recommend trying using the deprecated DBIC).

Octavian
