Hi all!

I've been working on getting my Windows machine up and running with Strawberry Perl and Catalyst for development purposes. CPAN seemed to pull down everything but I'm running into a problem with a simple tutorial app.

I started a cmd shell using the Perl command-line shortcut provided by Strawberry.

I ran: catalyst Hello to create a basic, empty application. I change into the Hello directory and run: perl script/hello_server.pl -r

and I get:

Couldn't load class (Hello) because: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Catalyst.pm line 2697.

I haven't changed or added anything yet. I have another system I can use, but it would be much more convenient to use my laptop to work. Has anyone run into this? I've done the usual Google without much success.

Thanks!
