Leave the flamebait for slashdot, please.  Lots of people go out of their way 
to help you on this list, so criticizing them isn't a very nice (or 
constructive) thing to do.  

Remember that Catalyst, like any other open source project, is a 
volunteer-only project primarily designed to help solve the AUTHORS' 
problems.  It will only improve to solve YOUR problems when you send the 
project code that does so :)

We're not purposely crippling Windows, but not many people here use it so it's 
always in need of testing and fixing.  Please contribute what you can.

Finally, if you're already ssh'd into a Linux box, why do you need to run 
Catalyst on Windows anyway?  At work, I do all my development on a Windows 
machine (wouldn't want the programmers to be productive or anything)... but 
the actual files are on a Linux server that I'm ssh'd to.  I open the files 
in emacs via sftpdrive, edit them, and then run the app via the SSH window.  
Basically, I use Windows as a $300 dumb terminal.  (A slow and virus-prone 
dumb terminal.)

Redhat, SuSE, Debian, Ubuntu, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin, OS X, etc. all 
seem to run it fine.  Maybe Windows is just broken?  Maybe Windows users 
aren't doing their part to help?

Perl is like coffee.  It's not very exciting to talk about, but I bet you're 
having a cup right now :)
