[Catalyst] Method name conflict with current versions

[Louis Erickson]

Summary:

I was using an outdated perl and modules.  Current perl and libraries works.  There are some points of discussion and will be a follow-up after I get modules upgraded.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious, which I overlooked.  Installing updated versions does not help if I do not turn them on.

It's an old installation of Perl and Catalyst.  It was running some other Cat apps fine, but this newer one doesn't get along.  I figured that would be annoying, so installed new with perlbrew.

t0m and Joerg have pointed out that I was running the wrong Perl - using the Perl I installed everything freshly with got the plain-vanilla Catalyst app running, and moved to a ShinyCMS-specific problem that we can discuss elsewhere.  I suspect it's pretty trivial, but it isn't a Catalyst issue.

t0m suggested moose-outdated.  It says everything is current - I updated Moose before I wrote.  I also updated Catalyst::Devel and any other module that sounded likely.  Still got the errors.  I now have "upgrade /(.*)/" running, which will take a bit.  I may try a clean install of 5.10.1 in perlbrew instead of the system perl.

I'm idling there, but once I had the general Catalyst app fail, I thought I'd wait to discuss Shiny-specific problems with you.  Maybe later today, in fact.  =)  I hope ShinyCMS is as perfect a fit for what I need as it sounds.  I'd rather run a Perl and Catalyst based tool than a bunch of PHP.
