If there is nothing at all in the error log, you have bigger problems...

I thought it did?  You earlier said you ran Apache from the command 
prompt and it started up showing the Catalyst debug startup text.

This should be C:/Cataculous/root

This means you should see helpful error messages in your 
Apache/logs/error_log file.  I think it might be error_log.txt on win32 
or something.

Hmm, if this is from a crash window, maybe your version of Perl and the 
version of mod_perl from the PPD are incompatible.  I am running my 
server using the latest ActiveState Perl.  Is that what you're using?

It's much easier on Linux (if you know what you're doing...)
