Subject: overzealous testing precludes win32 installs
I like a comprehensive test suite as much as the next guy. However spinning up an entire Catalyst instance seems overkill when you're only testing a view model. Worse: It makes installing the module REALLY hard on Win32. Any chance you can slim your test suite down a bit?
Would use of Catalyst::Test instead of Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst be more appropriate? Or does that present the same problem? On Sat Jun 30 15:17:01 2012, MITHALDU wrote: Show quoted text

As far as i can tell, Test::TCP is the issue, which is really flaky on Windows. So, Catalyst::Test looks to be fine, since it only emulates the network bits. :)
0.06 uses Catalyst::Test, so hopefully that resolves any installation issues with Windows. But I didn't actually replicate or test the problem you were having, please let me know if it still happens. thanks. - mark

That tests perfectly fine now. Thank you! :) -- With regards, Christian Walde
