Hi,
I haven't found the right way to file a bug report, so I'll just post it here -
maybe someone knows the right way.
I have found a bug in Catalyst.pm, which prevents Catalyst to start under some
circumstances.
If you use AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) to access files on a Linux box running
netatalk (OSS AFP server), Mac OS X creates subfolders called '.AppleDouble'.
These folders can contain so called 'resource forks' of files in the upper
folder.
The problem is, that Catalyst searches all .pm's inside lib/ and constructs
package names from paths. For example foo/bar.pm becomes foo::bar. If there is
a .AppleDouble fork of bar.pm - foo/.AppleDouble/bar.pm - Catalyst tries to
load foo::.AppleDouble::bar, which throws an error, as perl modules must not
contain points in the name.
There is a maybe not elegant, but simple fix:
In Catalyst.pm there is a sub called setup_components().
In there, you'll find 'for my $component ( @comps ) {'.
Just add
'next if $component =~/\./;'
after the for-statement.
Greets,
Tom 'Neo van Goth' Weber
