i am not using a config file, but thanks for the pointer.

the places i looked are the pod docs for Catalyst.pm,  
Catalyst::Manual::*, grepping through everything under site_perl/ 
5.8.8/Catalyst/*, and searching http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/

i found a mention of Makefile.PL on http://dev.catalystframework.org/ 
wiki/SolvedIssues but its solution is "make sure to put at least an  
empty Makefile.PL or Build.PL in the application top directory" which  
is not quite what i was after.

i still haven't found it in the docs, so i am not sure what such a  
patch would point exactly!
