+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'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
