Why are you changing _everything_ at once?

Why not upgrade from apache 1 => apache 2, and then upgrade Catalyst (or 
vice versa), as currently you've got no idea which of those upgrades is 
causing the issue.

You're not exiting cleanly.

add:

sub exit : Local {
     exit 0;
}

to your app, then hit that as the last hit.

You should now have profile data you can use..

Hmm, well, I think that it does..

The warning is issues whenever a class which @ISA Catalyst::Base is 
constructed.

Use Devel::SimpleTrace, and it should give you more hints..
