in reply to Pedantically thorough one-shot catalyst sandbox installation, soon it will automagically set up demo apps too...

First, I'd like to say thank you very much for creating this installer. I especially like the whole idea of completely sandboxing the installation and having a backup/revert function. I've finally got it to install completely, but unfortunately it took much more guiding than I would have hoped. (I spent about 4 hours fixing things.)

For some reason installing modules from CPAN kept failing--some dependencies were forgotten, and I had to stop the process, launch CPAN manually, install the missing module, and continue the install again with "perl ./cpan-mods.pl".

I basically went through the install.sh script manually, executing the instructions at the command line one at a time, fixing problems as they occurred. I ran into some tests failing with a message saying that the "output looks okay", which doesn't sound like an error at all, and others where the test scripts try to listen for a local network connection. For these I forced the module to install.

I realize that there's not much that can be done to fix these things in the pimpmycat script itself, because these hundreds of dependency modules are constantly changing and breaking. It's basically dependency hell with Perl modules. Does anyone have a solution to this situation?
