This is due to an old versions of one of the plugins you have in your 
application.

At a guess, one of the FastMMap ones.

If you run the Catalyst::Runtime Makefile.PL manually, it will tell you 
which module(s) are out of date.

If this still doesn't solve the issue, can you show us your use Catalyst 
qw// line (the one with all the plugins), and give the version of each 
plugin you have installed?
