I removed ActivePerl from my machine completely and began from scratch 
with ActivePerl 5.8.7.815. I've installed Catalyst 5.61 via ppm. I'm 
using the nmake from the link provided by Andy Grundman.

I'm still having problems with Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication as 
follows (suggestions welcome):

CPAN Terminal> i Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
