You'll probably be able to get just catalyst installed ok.
Where you'll start to run into problems is the various "helper"
modules. ORM managers like dbix::class, session managers, the list
goes on. In a unix context, most stuff just works -- or can be made to
work without too much fuss by the helpful people on irc. In windows
context, no.
Which is why http://ppm.tcool.org/ has prebuilt packages for a lot of
this stuff, thus saving you the hassle.
But yeah, getting real work done on windows is a pain. VMWare server
is free now, you've got no excuse for even trying unless you have to
use windows in production as well.
My advice is to get yourself a unix shell, and preferrably one where
you are root.
A cheap way to do this is linode, I think $15 a month or so for a
virtual linux. I am working on a PimpMyCat installer script that is
tested on linode, that will set you up with a sane catalyst
development environment at one shot.
Patches to cat-install welcome.
