[Dbix-class] How to Install Catalyst on windows

You'll probably be able to get just catalyst installed ok.

Where you'll start to run into problems is the various "helper"
modules. ORM managers like dbix::class, session managers, the list
goes on. In a unix context, most stuff just works -- or can be made to
work without too much fuss by the helpful people on irc. In windows
context, no.

My advice is to get yourself a unix shell, and preferrably one where
you are root.

A cheap way to do this is linode, I think $15 a month or so for a
virtual linux. I am working on a PimpMyCat installer script that is
tested on linode, that will set you up with a sane catalyst
development environment at one shot.

Honestly unless you are very patient and very motivated I still
wouldn't mess with catalyst on windows at this point.
