Catalyst In A Box

Partly out of upgrade frustration, partly out of others shared hosting/PREFIX frustration, partly out of Catalyst development on my USB thumb drive, and partly because I can...I put together an uppack-and-run version or Catalyst with Template/TT view support for those who with to try out Catalyst with the minimal amount of effort.

Simply download CatInABox.tar.gz, unpack it to the location of your choice and double-click start.bat on windows, or run ./start.sh from your favorite shell on *nix.

That's it. Now you're ready for:

catalyst.pl MyApp cd MyApp script/*server.pl -r

*FillInForm requires HTML::Parser 3.25 or above with has compiled XS code.
If you are not loading the FillInForm plugin in your app, Catalyst will use the
older non-xs version of HTML::Parser (also included).

hm. if i am not loading FillInForm plugin, why do i care about HTML::Parser here? not quite sure what you are saying here.

Re:good job!

Catalyst requires a version HTML::Entities, which is part of HTML::Parser. Any version works. FillInForm requires a newer XS verison og HTML::Parser, which in that package, only works on win32.

So, if you're not loading FillInForm, ignore everything in that note, and what I've just said. :-)
