Yes, Task::Catalyst is no longer used. The current tutorial says to
use Task::Catalyst::Tutorial which is maintained. cpan
Catalyst::Devel has been fine for me on Mac, Linux and even
Strawberry perl on windows (with the exception of having to notest
install HTTP::Server::Simple which is buried somewhere deep in the
dependency chain) recently.

Tomas, Ashley, et al,
I've been using the installed version since I got the Mac - about 3
yrs ago. I've done alot in that time - /never/ had any trouble with
perl 5.8.6.
Just FYI, I'm a catalyst beginner, but I wrote my first perl script
in 1986. So you can "use big words" and I'll very likely get it.
I was trying to install Task::Catalyst cuz the online Catalyst
manual says so. ...maybe the manual should be updated?
I do recall trying just 'install Catalyst' some time ago, but that
crapped out too. I'll try that again and see if the error messages
look any different.
Will post if there's anything new to report.
I do appreciate all the input.
Cheers.

I love OS X but the Perl it has historically shipped with is
historically no so hot. I would strongly recommend you install the
latest 5.8 (NOT over your system perl but beside it) or 5.10.
I don't consider this good advice, especially for a beginner.
Catalyst runs *just fine* against the 5.8.6 that Apple ship. And I
wouldn't recommend running 5.10.0 as that has a bug which makes it
very hard to debug applications.
You should probably avoid Task::Catalyst entirely.
This is more sage advice, the failures being seen weren't in the
core Catalyst, but in addons, although the fact that
Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst is failing isn't good, as this is
one of the things everyone should be encouraged to be using :(
Has anyone looked into this yet?
Cheers
