Re: Catalyst by the Book- The Train Wreck Continues

[stonecolddevin]

Do not go off of jrockway's book. It's out of date and we've written a new one. Use that. Also, ikegami nailed it with an improper location in your @INC.

Or if you're going to follow that book, switch to a release from the same time period, like http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.7010/ :)

++. There was a pretty long period of instability between those releases and the current code base which has finally become smooth again. Any number of module version issues in plugins, Moose, parent classes, and more cause problems in between. The new book is generally better and Cat 5.8 is different enough from 5.7 that it's probably what you (the OP) should be reading.

or alternatively someone interested in selling the book should upload erratas and new code-examples to it's webpage...(?)

UPDATE: Or at least a warning about the applicable versions of catalyst...
