Yeah, thanks - I ended up using the cat-install script as a  
diagnostic. I'm attempting to package Catalyst for deployment in a  
CentOS 4.4 yum-RPM only environment, so my dependency checking has  
been a bit more hit and miss than just using CPAN.

Something in LWP was the culprit (maybe HTTP::Headers), as it turned  
out. It may have been a mismatch between CPAN and Yum/RPM version  
checking, with the Requires: perl(HTTP::Headers) >= 1.64 directive  
being confused by perl(HTTP::Headers) being provided by perl-libwww- 
perl (at version 5.8 something). Anyway, all the tests are passing  
now :-)

Thanks,

Matt
