Unfortunately, no.  And yes.  I tried upgrading a new AS 5.8.8 
installation to Module-Install-0.61, but the same error persists.

Is it indeed the case that the OP mentions, that the problem version 
of Module-Install is embedded in the Catalyst-5.66 release?

Oooo, here's a clue - the Module-Install-0.61 release installed just 
fine by itself.

So after unpacking the Catalyst-5.66.tar.gz, I overwrote the 
inc/Module/* files with the files from the Module-Install-0.61 
release.  And then the Catalyst install works just fine.

I then redid it with a completely new install of AS 5.8.8 with no 
other modules updated.  All I then did was
     C:\Archive\Perl\CPAN\Modules\Catalyst-5.66\inc\Module>
             xcopy /s  ..\..\..\Module-Install-0.61\inc\Module .
and the Catalyst install started just fine.

Rats, I wish I'd taken better notes, but I know that at least these 
modules will need to be rebuilt with updated Module-Install, in 
addition to Catalyst:
     File-HomeDir-0.56
     Locale-Maketext-Lexicon-0.54
     Module-Signature-0.53

Anybody know a good way to find the all modules that need to be rebuilt?
