Right, your 'Cache::FastMmap' module is buggered. Try re-installing  
it, or use a different session store (I'd recommend memcache  
personally).

How is that relevant?

Catalyst 5.80 is backwards compatible - unless you've got a bug you  
haven't reported?

This is to do with incompatibility between your version (new) of  
Moose and the (old) version of Any::Moose which Data::Visitor is  
happy with.

Install the new version of Catalyst::Plugin::Configloader, which will  
requires new Data::Visitor, which in turn will pull in a fixed  
version of Any::Moose.
