Catalyst Couldn't load helper “Catalyst::Helper::View::TT”

Question

I follow the book "The Definitive Guide to Catalyst". Now when I run the command "script/lolcatalyst_lite_create.pl view Web TT", I get as follows

exists "/home/hengaini/LolCatalyst-Lite/script/../lib/LolCatalyst/Lite/View" exists "/home/hengaini/LolCatalyst-Lite/script/../t" Couldn't load helper "Catalyst::Helper::View::TT", "Can't locate Catalyst/Helper/View/TT.pm >in @INC (@INC contains: /home/hengaini/LolCatalyst-Lite/script/../lib /etc/perl /usr/local /lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 338) line 2.

question: 1.Is Catalyst still popular? Every web framework says good; 2.How to solve above problem?

Thanks!

Answer 1

1 - Yes, at least with me :-)

Catalyst is well maintianed. There is no new Perl framework aimed at replacing Catalyst.

2 - Install the missing module:

sudo cpan Catalyst::Helper::View::TT

Make sure everything is installed

sudo cpan Catalyst::Runtime
sudo cpan Catalyst::Devel

Answer 2

Yes, Catalyst is quite popular, and has a very active community behind it.

But the issue you've run into there isn't Catalyst specific. It looks like Catalyst::Helper::View::TT isn't installed on your server.

Try installing it from CPAN and see how you go. You'll also need to install Template (Template Toolkit) if you haven't already.

(If you've gotten as far as you have, I guess you know how to install from CPAN!)
