I have perl 5.10.0. Ikiwiki 2.44 compiles fine.

I wiped ikiwiki off my system, and then installed version 2.41. I tried installing 2.46 and get the same error as above, so I'll be using 2.46 below. (BTW, the debian page still lists 2.45 as current; I had to fiddle with the download link to get 2.46).

I checked with `which`: `perl` is indeed `/usr/bin/perl`. The commands fail similarly when calling `perl` and `/usr/bin/perl`. However, you might be into something with your `libdir` idea. If I remove it from the command line, the command succeeds. In other words, if I run perl -Iblib/lib ikiwiki.out -setup docwiki.setup -refresh then it works perfectly. By the way, I'm running Arch linux. The perl build script is a bit long, but I see they install a patch to modify @INC: Would you suggest I try rebuilding perl without this patch? Debian has a huge perl patch (102K!); it's not straightforward for me to see if they do something similar to Arch.
