 I'd like to run ikiwiki under cygwin.  I'm new to ikiwiki and have tried to follow the setup tutorial as best I could.  I got all the way up to step 7, but I can't get the CGI to run successfully (step 8).

 Can anyone decipher this for me?  I spent some time with cpan earlier today downloading the latest version I could find of prerequisite modules such as HTML::Template and CGI::FormBuilder.

+I have version 3.0401 of CGI::FormBuilder -- the latest from CPAN.  If you are wondering about any other modules, the answer 
+is likely the same: the latest from CPAN.  And you're right: the error string in question does not appear in CGI::FormBuilder.  I found it in HTML::Template (version 2.8).
+
+OK, so downgrading CGI::FormBuilder to 3.0302 makes the problem go away.  I'll leave it to you to figure out whether the bug is in CGI::FormBuilder or in IkiWiki. --Steve

+A different problem has reared its ugly head.  When I click on "RecentChanges", the CGI complains about an undefined subroutine:

+
+Indeed there is no such routine IkiWiki::XMLin().  I don't understand how this can possibly work -- as it manifestly does on linux.
