[Catalyst] Strawberry Perl Professional Alpha 2 coming soon... requesting module list check.

[Curtis Jewell]

Well, it's that time of year again... I'm building a new alpha of
Strawberry Perl Professional, and I want a quick check-over of the
module list from the major Perl projects.

The goal is to have SP Pro Alpha 2 ready and released on Pioneer Day
(the 24th of July).) 

Here's a quick list of the Catalyst-named (or in Task::Catalyst) modules
that are going in it - most of them should be either on Task::Catalyst
or prerequisites of modules that are:

(local::lib and FCGI are already in regular Strawberry, so they don't
really count.)

Catalyst::Runtime
Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple
Catalyst::Action::RenderView
Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader
Catalyst::Devel
CatalystX::Component::Traits
Catalyst::Engine::Apache
Catalyst::Log::Log4perl
Catalyst::View::TT
Catalyst::View::JSON
Catalyst::Model::Adaptor
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema
Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole
Catalyst::Action::REST
Catalyst::Plugin::Session
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace
Catalyst::Plugin::FillInForm
Catalyst::Plugin::I18N
Catalyst::Plugin::Compress::Zlib
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::File
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::Delegate
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::URI
Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::Roles
CatalystX::InjectComponent
Catalyst::ActionRole::ACL
* Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::BerkeleyDB
Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class
Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu
CatalystX::SimpleLogin
CatalystX::LeakChecker
CatalystX::Profile
Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP
Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
Catalyst::View::Email
Catalyst::Manual
* CatalystX::REPL
** Task::Catalyst
Padre::Plugin::Catalyst

* means that the module needed its tests skipped, and that I was
comfortable doing so.
** means that it has a distropref modifying it to take out a few
prerequisites - see below.

I did NOT feel comfortable skipping the tests for FCGI::ProcManager (it
uses POSIX calls that aren't implemented on Win32), and for
Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Prefork, one of its prerequisites
(HTTP::HeaderParser::XS) does not link on Strawberry Perl 5.10.1, so it
would not work even if I did skip its tests. (when I switch over to 5.12
for the betas, I will check again, and if HHPXS links [as I think it
should - it links on 64-bit 5.12, it should link on 32-bit 5.12], I'll
add it back in.)

If there are any modules that you think should be added - or even
better, deleted - from this list, let me know, OK?

We also link to http://www.catalystframework.org/ in the start menu - if
you people think that there is a better link that you'd like me to drop
people at instead, again, let me know.

Thanks.
