I'd love to see a full install attempt. I was getting tests for Perl down to
5.8.8 before we release so I am not aware of a hard dependency on Tie::StdHash.
However I don't use cpanplus, and I write my own makefile.pl, not the one that
Catalyst::Devel writes. Its possible that something is going on there. If
someone can reproduce and send me an install trace I will review.
The intention for Catalyst is to run on the oldest Perl possible. However I am
finding particularly with the unicode stuff that getting a stable setup lower
than 5.14 is a bit hard. I do use 5.10.1 at work and we have it running there
without trouble FWIW

Interesting, we don't use local::lib, just perlbrew, both dev and production,
and keep the whole perlbrew dir in svn, works great.
Will let the catalyst devs answer the actual/original question...

Hi,
We don't use perlbrew on production, but I've used it in other areas without
a problem. As far as I know it's very highly regarded.
I've used local::lib successfully for development work ie Temporarily
pointing to some different modules.
I spent quite a lot of time at the beginning of this year trying to set it up
so that we could use it seriously. I wanted to be able to do a twice yearly
update from CPAN of all our modules into a seperate directory structure so that
it would be easy to revert if the updated tree turned out to contain a bug.
local::lib plays nicely with cpan but not with cpanplus. The default way for
a Catalyst app to maintain it's dependencies is to maintain Makefile.PL. When
you run that it uses cpanplus. I struggled with it for quite a while and gave
up.
All the best.

Not to answer your actual question, but...
Have you also thought using Perlbrew http://perlbrew.pl
As regular user, you can install any version of Perl locally (to your home
dir), plus all the modules via cpanm, and keep everything self-contained for a
particular user.
It's made our deployments a breeze, rather than dealing with the system-wide
perl, etc.
(There's also local::lib tho I've not delved into that myself).
Hope it helps a little.

Hi,
I've just spun up a Rackspace server with Ubuntu 14.04 and tried to install
Catalyst from CPAN.
If the print out means what it seems to mean, then Catalyst will no longer
install cleanly from CPAN on any version prior to 5.20.
It's saying that there is a dependency on Tie::StdHash and that Tie::StdHash
won't install without force because the latest version of the module is part of
perl-5.20.2.
It won't effect me because I'll just force it or download an older version of
the module.
All the same, it seems a bit poor.
Is it deliberate?

Duncan
