Hi, This highly depends on your distribution, and is totaly unrelated to catalyst. On debian based systems, "perldoc" is included in the package "perl-doc", so you can install it by runnig "apt-get install perl-doc" as root. Since the output on your console says "You need to install the perl-doc package...", a reasonable first step would be to follow these instructions and install the perl-doc package! On redhat based systems, perldoc should be included in in the main perl package, but it has been a while since I was working on redhat, so i am not sure if this is right. If you build your own perl, e.g with "perlbrew" (which I recommend) perldoc should be included.
