## Prerequisite modules not found for non-root user

+Hi, I'm a non-root user trying to use IkiWiki on an academic webserver with Perl 5.8.8 but several missing modules, so I grab them from CPAN (edited):
- cd ~; PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
+ cd ~; PERL5LIB=`pwd`/ikiwiki:`pwd`/ikiwiki/cpan:`pwd`/lib/perl5 PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
That puts a lot of files in ~/.cpan. Then when I go into the directory where I untarred IkiWiki and try to run the Perl makefile:
Warning: prerequisite Mail::Sendmail 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Text::Markdown 0 not found.
-I've tried various combinations of PERL5LIB and PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT to run this Makefile.PL but I'm not knowledgeable enough in Perl to get it to find the files in ~/.cpan. Thanks for any help!
+CORRECTION 1: I played around with CPAN and got the installation to the point of succeeding with >99% of tests in "make test".

+
+An attempt of "make install" failed while trying to put files in /etc/IkiWiki but per the output's instructions, I reran "make install" and that seemed to work, until this error, which doesn't seem to be satisfiable:
+
+ Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.

+Any suggestions? Whew!

+03 September 2010, Report on successful manual install in Debian 5 (Lenny) AMD64:
+
+note: Maybe much more easy using backports, but using this tools you get a plain user cpan :)
+
+This where my steps:
+
+As root (#):
+
+ # aptitude install build-essential curl perl
+
+As plain user ($):
+
+ I use to install user perl modules using local::lib
+
+ mkdir -p "$HOME/downloads"
+ cd "$HOME/downloads/"
+ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GETTY/local-lib-1.006007.tar.gz
+ wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ikiwiki/ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ tar -zxf local-lib-1.006007.tar.gz
+ cd local-lib-1.006007/
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/.perl5
+ make test && make install
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/.perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc
+ . ~/.bashrc
+ curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
+ source "/home/$USER/.bashrc"
+ cpanm CGI::FormBuilder
+ cpanm CGI::Session
+ cpanm HTML::Parser
+ cpanm HTML::Template
+ cpanm -f HTML::Scrubber # tests failed
+ cpanm Text::Markdown
+ cpanm URI
+ tar -zxf ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ cd ikiwiki/
+ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE= PREFIX=/home/$USER/.perl5
+ make tests # All tests successful
+ make
+ make install INSTALL_BASE=/home/$USER/.perl5
+ . ~/.bashrc
+
+Using cpan or cpanm with local::lib, you can install any other needed dependency, as plain user in your home (XS modules may need -dev packages)
+
+After all, here it's:
+
+ ikiwiki -version
+ ikiwiki version 3.20100831
+
+Hope this can be useful for someone.
