[Catalyst] bad luck with shadowcat install -- something wrong with cpan? was Re: [Dbix-class] How to Install Catalyst on windows

[Jonathan Rockway]

Looks like you got a bad mirror.  Try http://cpan.uchicago.edu/CPAN (or
another known-good mirror) and let us know how it goes.  Catalyst 5.5 is
pretty old; we're up to 5.7006 now.

Regards,
Jonathan Rockway
