OK, contrary to my previous post, it clearly is a file permissions issue 
(thanks KiKi), as chmod 777 * -R in MyApp fixed the problem at a stroke 
(it's not on a public server!).  Changing all directories to 755 and 
files to 644 (or 666 if need to be writable) seems to retain functionality.

Could I have avoided this embarrassment by using Makefile.PL in the app 
directory? OT I know, but what is the recommended permissions for files 
and directories for web-apps run under Catalyst/mod_perl?
