Error received when following a "Create New Page" (eg. ?) link: 

> `Error: [CGI::FormBuilder::AUTOLOAD] Fatal: Attempt to address
> non-existent field 'param' by name at
> /home/tealart/bin/share/perl/5.8.4/IkiWiki/Plugin/editpage.pm line 122`

I could probably find several other flavors of this error if I went
looking, but I trust you get the idea. 

The CGI starts to render (this isn't the "you forgot to set the
permissions/turn on the CGI" error) and then fails. 

Further details:

- Running on shared hosting (dreamhost; but everything compiles,
  dependencies installed, the site generates perfectly, other CGIs
  work, the file permissions work).

- It's running perl 5.8.4, but I did upgrade gettext to 0.17

- the server is running gcc v3.3.5 (at this point, this is the main
  difference between the working system and my box.)

- I've removed the locale declarations from both the config file and
  the environment variable.

- I've also modified the page template and have my templates in a non
  standard location. The wiki compiles fine, with the template, but
  might this be an issue? The CGI script doesn't (seem) to load under
  the new template, but I'm not sure how to address this issue.

- All of the required/suggested module dependencies are installed
  (finally) to the latest version including (relevantly)
  CGI::FormBuilder 3.0501.

- I'm running ikiwiki v3.08. Did I mention that it works perfectly in
  nearly every other way that I've managed to test thusfar?
