I didn't actually 'install' it as such, just copied the MyApp directory 
under my /home folder, added the path/to/MyApp/lib to mod_perl's lib in 
startup.pl file so it can find MyApp.pm, and re-started the server. It 
looks like Catalyst _can_ find the 'home' directory, as it displays 
correctly in the rather verbose 'Config' section of the screen dump:
    home => '/home/raj/www/apps/MyApp',
and directly under that is root/lib and root/src. I REALLY need to fix 
this one or I'm sunk!
