- App classname no longer has to be passed to import:
$m = T::W::M::C->new(catalyst_app => 'Catty')

interpreter due to the above change

any more

- add missing prereqs to Catalyst::Plugin::Session::State::Cookie

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Catalyst is an elegant MVC Web Application Framework. Test::WWW::Mechanize
is a subclass of WWW::Mechanize that incorporates features for web
application testing. The Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst module
meshes the two to allow easy testing of Catalyst applications
without starting up a web server.
Testing web applications has always been a bit tricky, normally
starting a web server for your application and making real HTTP
requests to it. This module allows you to test Catalyst web
applications but does not start a server or issue HTTP requests.
Instead, it passes the HTTP request object directly to Catalyst.
Thus you do not need to use a real hostname: "http://localhost/"
will do.
