Thanks for the tip. I am running from the same directory, so am 
surprised that the behavior is different, but when setting the 
CALAPP_CONFIG variable as you suggested I see a normal Catalyst startup, 
and the "Dumper" code I put in gets ran as expected. Things look more 
normal now (well, there's other stuff it doesn't find now, like not 
recognizing the directories set in my default View, but I believe I can 
figure that out).

Thanks again for helping out.
