This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux
## Installation in a non-root enviroment
-I had a pretty hellacious time installing Ikiwiki (largely due to problems in Perl) and documented them in [[SharedHosting]]. I'd like to get feedback on the doc and also know if I should file a few bugs to make the installation process a little friendlier to non-root folks. Thanks for the great app!

+
+ah, i still don't fully get it, though (the following is slightly shortened):
+
+ $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
+ cpan> install DateTime
+ DateTime is up to date.
+ cpan> install TimeDate
+ Warning: Cannot install TimeDate, don't know what it is.
+ Try the command
+ i /TimeDate/
+ to find objects with matching identifiers.
+
+I'm trying to build IkiWiki on a fresh OpenSuse 10.3 box. I start out with
+
+ $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::Markdown URI HTML::Parser HTML::Template HTML::Scrubber'
+ $ git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/ ikiwiki && cd ikiwiki
+ $ perl Makefile.PL && make
+
+Are there other prerequisites?
+I also installed all optional Perl modules, except TimeDate.

+
+good. Date::Parse was already installed. --[[vibrog]]
+
+`make` exits with `make: *** [extra_build] Aborted`, `make test` complains `cannot stat 'ikiwiki.man'` --[[vibrog]]
