  Well, I can't suggest for improvements, because that tutorial is not for =
a beginner and that's where I am. :-)

  It is a fine tutorial for someone who knows how to use Catalyst, but also=
 wants to know the right way for developing a more advanced application, th=
at uses versioning.
  As a suggestion, I'd say that it would be nice to made it platform indepe=
ndent. I develop the applications under Windows, and only if they work fine=
 I use to put them run in production (under Linux). There are very few situ=
ations in which a certain module cannot be tested under Windows and in that=
 case I test it under Linux directly.

  I have seen that your example modifies the root controller, so this convi=
nce me that this is not a tutorial for beginners.
  The beginners should start learning to use Catalyst, without SVN, with it=
s default ways of doing things, without other external modules that can be =
avoided.
  If a beginner sees that in its first example of using Catalyst, a certain=
 module is used, he might think that module is absolutely necessary, and th=
at Catalyst cannot work without it.

  I think your example is very good, but not for the beginners.
