Win32, Data::Alias, bad idea or my bad?

Hello all,

I've been trying to get a nice litle Catalyst application to run on
developers win32 machines the recent week.

Strawberry, ActiveState and Cygwin. All fail on something, but they all fail
on building Data::Alias, which both Configloader and RenderView depends
upon.

Mostly I've tried builds of perl 5.10, but I also tried Strawberry 5.8.8,
only to have Data::Alias demanding => 5.8.9

Reading the documentation of Data::Alias it's not hard to see that removing
that dependency might cost a lot in terms of efficiency, but it would be
nice if one could have an option to at least get Catalyst running for
development.

Does anyone on the list know a way to get Data::Alias to build on windows,
or to do without it?

kind regards
Kai Andresen

Looking at the CPAN testers results it -should- build under 5.10.0 - there
are a couple of PASS results for 1.07 there on

http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Data-Alias.html

It's required by Data::Vistor as a dependency, but only for a specific
feature which I -don't- think we actually turn on. It'd suggest you try
forcing Data::Visitor, see if everything else installs ok, and if so
don't worry about it and we'll try and arrange a Data::Visitor release
that makes the dependency optional.

Nice, thanks. It brings me an important step further!
