[Catalyst] Testing with 5.8 and 5.9 on one system

[Hugh Barnard]

Hi folks Thanks for both of these. What I've done so far, in case anyone
else ends up with something like this:

1. Partial rehearsal on one of my own systems!
2. Used local::lib to get Catalyst in local_perl in my home directory
    though I think might be able to just use Makefile.pl with PREFIX?
3. [Happily] there's a module preload in the application which sets some
'extra' @INC values
    so I've pushed my local Catalyst directory onto the 'front' of that...

The application logging now reports that the local version is loading, so
this seems pretty viable. Of course the actual remote system may be a
different matter, we'll see...

Thanks again Hugh
