Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is to avoid it altogether. Indeed, Cache::FastMmap is not to be found on Windows Perl's, so don't use that.

I found this on the Catalyst maillist archives. Switch out the use of one Cache::Cache module for another that works on Windows, in this case Cache::FileCache. Here is the change to Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::FastMmap in patch form:
