I've been using ActivePerl (free edition) for almost 1,5 years now, 90% 
of the time to develop Catalyst applications.
I even deployed some of them under apache 2.0.5x / modperl2 under 
windows server 200x.
Most of the problems I found (wrt modules installation) were not related 
to Catalyst itself (which is as cross platform as Perl can be), but 
because of some not-pure-perl modules, which of course don't compile 
under windows by default, because _windows_ doesn't offer almos any dev 
tool out of the box.

This is not a Catalyst-specific issue, but a Perl vs. Windows issue.

This response is already OT enough, so I will not go into details here. 
Let me just list some options you have:
* install the free visual c++ toolkit (no ide, just the compiler/linker) 
or some other c compiler
* use cygwin
* get ppd files (pre-compiled ActiveState packages created from CPAN 
modules)
* search for pure perl modules that do the same thing as the xs ones 
(e.g. Cache::FastMMap is not the only cache module supported by Catalyst)
