If yes, how do you solve it?
I note that both Mandriva (which has had it for a few years) and Fedora now have working Catalyst packages. Mandriva also has a CPANPLUS backend (which is being actively used for packaging new CPAN modules, however other tools - written in perl - are used for updating all packages). I am prepared to package other Catalyst modules for Mandriva on request.
