What version are you using, and did you get it from CPAN or from the
subversion repo?

The last time I saw that kind of output, it was because the catalyst
helper modules were uploaded to CPAN with windows line endings and the
helpers were being run on a *nix system. In that case, the line ending
mistmatch was breaking the __DATA__ section as a file handle. That was
fixed in 0.21 and I set those files to eol-style=LF in the repo, but
that doesn't mean I didn't screw something else up. :-)

Strangly enough, the opposite doesn't cause __DATA__ to break. (unix
line endings on windows).

Let me look around...

In the mean time, check out the 0.26 version from the repo and
build/install it. Then try the helper scripts again. I suspect that will
fix it.
