ok .. i'm now going with the cat-install script .. let's see how it works..

cool .. it just scrolled by:

(1) Africa
(2) Asia
(3) Central America
(4) Europe
(5) North America
(6) Oceania
(7) South America
Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] 
Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a
geographic selection.

no idea.. maybe cpan isn't set up correctly ... let's see..

ok .. it seems that was the case

perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
...
Are you ready for manual configuration? yes no


did the trick .. it now installs quite a few things ...

ok .. i should have done it using sudo :) got a couple of permission denied errors before realizing that .... installing ....

umm.. i like choices

Do you want to build the XS Stash module? y
Do you want to use the XS Stash by default? y
Do you want to install these components? y
Installation directory /usr/local/tt2
URL base for TT2 images? /tt2/images
Do you want to build the HTML documentation? y
Do you want to use the Splash! library? y
Enter name of colour scheme: default
Do you want to build the HTML example pages? y

if only i would have any idea what these questions are about (wtf is a XS Stash ? Splash! ?).. anyway .. i just want to install catalyst ... so .. the default values seem to do their job ..

rofl:
Speech/t/Speech................ok 29/38

i love it to be told during an installation what is happening although i needed a couple of seconds to figure out where it actually came from ;)

it seems installation succeeded .. let's try the model generation again ..

ok .. not quite there yet .. somehow .. it didn't install the helper script .. so back to cpan

install Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema

i suddenly get the feeling that i should have used a vmware image or something to install this stuff.. there are dozen of perl modules installing right now :|

ok .. i think i'm done again .. let's try again ..
