Is it that I maybe have a too old version of some of the Perl dependencies? The only mdwn.pm files
that I have are the two I have just extracted from the new tar file. There is *no* ./IkiWiki.pm file

so what/where is it loading to satisfy the ....... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I wasn't noticing the case of the filename, I'd missed the upper case W and guess what 'find' shows me:-
OK, I've now got it to compile and install and presumably it's basically working. However there
are a few errors when I run 'make test'. Several errors have disappeared by installing more Perl
-stuff (specifically XML::SAX) and one error disappeared when I did a 'make install', i.e. the 'make
+stuff (specifically XML::SAX)

+
+and one error disappeared when I did a 'make install', i.e. the 'make
test' has a test which requires IkiWiki to be installed first.

However I'm still getting the following error in 'make test':-

+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 [[tips/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

+ DateTime is up to date.

+ $ perl Makefile.PL && make
+

+good. Date::Parse was already installed. --[[vibrog]]
