Really?!
Wasn't "See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more
documentation." in
Catalyst.pm's POD sufficient?
I can't imagine a user who didn't understand that (not even
a Windows

I did not suggest that, indeed.

Nor Windows nor ActivePerl are my platforms of choice,
though I feel no
particular perverse pleasure in boycotting them.
Seriously, placing a fake file in Catalyst::Runtime just to
say: "Hey
man, look, there is also a Catalyst Manual!" is not a
good idea IMO.
Then incidentally it also causes that problem with PPM, so
you
ultimately get two damages at once...
Believe it or not, I suggested that *only* pro Catalyst and
its spread
among the greatest possible number of users (regardless of
the platform
they use).
Cheers,
Emanuele.
