Fairly randomly, I just managed to get the same error.

After reading the comments in Catalyst::Test, I was going to have a look at
Catalyst::Engine::Test. However, it seems this is part of an old Catalyst
distribution so the whole of Catalyst v5.55 ended up getting installed to:

  .../lib/perl5/Catalyst

Whereas the up-to-date install is in:

  ../lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.8/Catalyst

So my solution was to simply delete the old install (then check the
'mbuildpl_arg' and 'makepl_arg' of my local cpan config). You might want to
confirm that you are running a recent version of Catalyst (more specifically
Catalyst::Utils) by something like:

  perl -d -MCatalyst -e ''

  [snip]

  DB<1> M

On a side note - if Catalyst::Engine::Test is deprecated - is it worth
removing/changing the comment on Catalyst::Test? I would offer a patch but I
don't consider myself particularly well qualified.

Cheers,

Ian
