+I'm trying to install from scratch on a CentOS 4.6 system.  I installed perl 5.8.8 from source and then added all the required modules via CPAN.  When I build ikiwiki from the tarball, I get this message:

+    rendering todo/calendar_--_archive_browsing_via_a_calendar_frontend.mdwn
+    *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0922e478 ***
+    make: *** [extra_build] Aborted
+
+I'm kind of at a loss how to track this down or work around it.  Any suggestions? --Monty

-> No, but it's fairly easy to write such tools in perl. For example, to

-
-       joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $_ foreach keys %$userinfo'

-       joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $userinfo->{$_}->{email} foreach keys %$userinfo'
-       
-       joey@kitenet.net

-> Editing is simply a matter of changing values and calling Storable::store().

->>> I suppose I should stop being lame and create a command line tool wrapping up these operations.. --[[Joey]]
