[Catalyst] CRUD example templates need Template::Plugin::Class

[Gary Ashton-Jones]

This is just a note for any newbies like me who like trying out examples 
in docos (but often don't understand the code they are using).

I tried out the Catalyst::Model::CDBI::CRUD example and templates 
included with the tarball on my Linux box and it worked (eventually 
after I finally tracked down my typing errors). I then installed the 
demo on my iBook and it failed with the following error:

[Thu Apr  7 23:52:12 2005] [catalyst] [debug] Rendering template "list"
[Thu Apr  7 23:52:12 2005] [catalyst] [error] Couldn't render template "plugin error - Class: plugin not found"
[Thu Apr  7 23:52:12 2005] [catalyst] [info] Processing "MyApp::V::TT->process" took 0.250551s


Many hours later I eventually traced the code and found out the error 
meant Template was missing a plugin called 'Class' (yes, that's what the 
error message says but I didn't understand it. (Every module in Catalyst 
starts with 'Class', how does a newbie know which one it meant?).)

I don't know why/how Template::Plugin::Class was installed on my Linux 
box but not on my iBook. I used Bundle::Cat and Bundle::Everything on 
both. Anyway, I installed T:P:C and the demo worked.
