This is what I am  talking about... kind of overwhelming. Maybe the docs
shouldn't pass of installation as easy

the tutorial says all you need is "perl -MCPAN ...."  which is downright
misleading. instead of glossing over the install because it can be such a
pain how about writting MORE docs about it and how to get around common
issues. I mean if you have access to a shell and know your way around sudo
you are not an idiot, allowing people to know beforehand what to expect
would lessen frustration in my opinion

also, maybe if cat-install was listed in the docs somewhere prominent? cat
in a box as well?
