Class::Std sets a lot of stuff up at compile-time, whereas Catalyst loads
your components at run-time. You're going to need to load the Class::Std
class directly, probably by explicitly use-ing it in each of your scripts.

stevan's Class::C3 (used by DBIx::Class) does similar tricks but provides
Class::C3->initialize() to call it by hand if you late-load the classes.
If Damian's made any provisions for such I don't see documentation for them.
