A bit more info on this one. If I do the following:

CPAN Terminal> z Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
...\Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.05> perl Makefile.PL
...\Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.05> nmake
...\Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.05> nmake test

Instead of:

CPAN Terminal> i Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication

Then all tests pass.

In HTTP::Request::AsCGI 0.02 as installed with Catalyst 5.61, at line 94

     open( $self->{restore}->{stdin}, '>&', STDIN->fileno )
       or croak("Can't dup stdin: $!");

you get "Can't dup stdin: Bad file descriptor" when running from the 
CPANPLUS terminal. This doesn't happen when installing manually.

Seems to be Win32 specific - installing Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication 
from the CPANPLUS terminal using the same version of everything works 
flawlessly under Linux.
