+##Further problems with Bundle::IkiWiki
+I'm also having trouble with finding Bundle::IkiWiki. I've tried it with the environment settings and without them, and also using the interactive
+form of the cpan command. I've also gone to cpan.org and searched -- eg
+
+ http://search.cpan.org/search?query=ikiwiki&mode=all
+
+and no Bundle for IkiWiki comes up at all.
+
+The error I get from the various cpan attempts is basically always the same:
+
+ Warning: Cannot install Bundle::IkiWiki, don't know what it is.
+ Try the command
+
+ i /Bundle::IkiWiki/
+
+ to find objects with matching identifiers.
+
+When I try that command, BTW, it basically seems to find the same stuff I get when searching on the cpan web site.
+
+This happens both on Ubuntu 8.04 and CentOS 5.1
+
+Any help would be greatly appreciated... --kent

+
+Just today I noticed the "Bundle" subdirectory. What a moron I am! :-) Also, I misunderstood the PERL5LIB=`pwd` part --
+I glibly thought it indicated the sink for the installation of the modules, rather than the source, and I was running
+the cpan command from another window in a different directory, and just spiraled down into error...

+
+For ubuntu 8.04:
+
+ $ ikiwiki --version
+ ikiwiki version 2.32.3ubuntu2.1
+ $
+
+I was just trying to get the latest version.
+
+In any case, thanks for the help, and thanks for the superb software. I really like it a lot.

+## Prerequisite modules not found for non-root user
+Hi, I'm a non-root user trying to use IkiWiki on an academic webserver with Perl 5.8.8 but several missing modules, so I grab them from CPAN (edited):
+
+ cd ~; PERL5LIB=`pwd`/ikiwiki:`pwd`/ikiwiki/cpan:`pwd`/lib/perl5 PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
+
+That puts a lot of files in ~/.cpan. Then when I go into the directory where I untarred IkiWiki and try to run the Perl makefile:
+
+ cd ~/ikiwiki; perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/ikiwiki
+
+I get warnings that all the modules needed were not found:
+
+Warning: prerequisite CGI::FormBuilder not found.
+Warning: prerequisite CGI::Session 0 not found.
+Warning: prerequisite Date::Parse 0 not found.
+Warning: prerequisite HTML::Scrubber 0 not found.
+Warning: prerequisite HTML::Template 0 not found.
+Warning: prerequisite Mail::Sendmail 0 not found.
+Warning: prerequisite Text::Markdown 0 not found.
+
+CORRECTION 1: I played around with CPAN and got the installation to the point of succeeding with >99% of tests in "make test".
+
+> What was the magic CPAN rune that worked for you? --[[Joey]]
+
+An attempt of "make install" failed while trying to put files in /etc/IkiWiki but per the output's instructions, I reran "make install" and that seemed to work, until this error, which doesn't seem to be satisfiable:
+
+ Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.

+
+Any suggestions? Whew!

+
+03 September 2010, Report on successful manual install in Debian 5 (Lenny) AMD64:
+
+note: Maybe much more easy using backports, but using this tools you get a plain user cpan :)
+
+This where my steps:
+
+As root (#):
+
+ aptitude install build-essential curl perl
+
+
+As plain user ($), I use to install user perl modules using local::lib
+
+ mkdir -p "$HOME/downloads"
+ cd "$HOME/downloads/"
+ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GETTY/local-lib-1.006007.tar.gz
+ wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ikiwiki/ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ tar -zxf local-lib-1.006007.tar.gz
+ cd local-lib-1.006007/
+ perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=~/.perl5
+ make test && make install
+ echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/.perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/.perl5)' >>~/.bashrc
+ . ~/.bashrc
+ curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
+ cpanm CGI::FormBuilder
+ cpanm CGI::Session
+ cpanm HTML::Parser
+ cpanm HTML::Template
+ cpanm HTML::Scrubber
+ cpanm Text::Markdown
+ cpanm URI
+ cd ..
+ tar -zxf ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ cd ikiwiki/
+ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE= PREFIX=/home/$USER/.perl5
+ make test # All tests successful.
+ make install INSTALL_BASE=/home/$USER/.perl5
+ . ~/.bashrc
+
+Using cpan or cpanm with local::lib, you can install any other dependency, as plain user (in your home). XS modules may need -dev packages.
+
+After all, here it's:
+
+ ikiwiki -version
+ ikiwiki version 3.20100831
+
+It seems like this installation looses the /etc files (we're as plain user), but this can be used as a workaround:
+
+ ikiwiki -setup ~/downloads/ikiwiki/auto.setup
+
+I've not investigated more the /etc files ussage, but does not seems like a good idea to be as plain user...
+
+ /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist does not exist
+ ** Failed to add you to the system wikilist file.
+ ** (Probably ikiwiki-update-wikilist is not SUID root.)
+ ** Your wiki will not be automatically updated when ikiwiki is upgraded.
