At a guess, you deleted your Makefile.PL?
Yes :O
I didn't really want to bother with make on my webapp, so deleted that

Yeah, that'd get you.
The lines in the generated Makefile.PL which say:
# IMPORTANT: if you delete this file your app will not work as
# expected. You have been warned.
Are, actually, not lies.
Catalyst uses the presence of a Makefile.PL to work out if your
application has actually been installed, or if it is just running from a
checkout.
I totally see the 'I will never install' point of make being unneeded,
but I personally like the possibility that I may one day run my apps
somewhere other than my laptop (or, maybe I'll even buy a less crappy
laptop). So keeping the dependencies in Makefile.PL up to date is a very
worthwhile exercise; you can then just copy your app to another machine
and say 'make installdeps', rather than suffer half an hour's
frustration trying to start your app and failing.
Cheers
