-Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl
-module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of `perl -V`
-for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the
-IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
-inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
-`/usr/local/lib/site_perl` for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
-plugins to `/usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin`
