 From the top of that script -

# This is the Shadowcat Catalyst installer. Its purpose is to make it easier
# and quicker to get started with Catalyst development. In order to use it,
# make sure you have perl 5.8.1+, a make and a compiler, (nmake and dev-c++
# are good on windows), a configured CPAN.pm and Module::Build installed.
