Starting up process id:23065 at lib/MyApp.pm line 33.

Starting up process id:23063 at lib/MyApp.pm line 33.
Starting up process id:23066 at lib/MyApp.pm line 33.
Starting up process id:23064 at lib/MyApp.pm line 33.

Notice the process ids are all different.

That would be lighttpd starting four copies of your app.

It's not a problem, it's absolutely expected (or at least, Catalyst is doing the right thing. Whether starting four copies of the FCGI handler is the right thing for lighttpd to do is another matter :)
