 I'd like to run ikiwiki under cygwin.  I'm new to ikiwiki and have tried to follow the setup tutorial as best I could.  I got all the way up to step 7, but I can't get the CGI to run successfully (step 8).
 
 I'd like to run ikiwiki under cygwin.  I'm new to ikiwiki and have tried to follow the setup tutorial as best I could.  I got all the way up to step 7, but I can't get the CGI to run successfully (step 8).
 

-After editing ikiwiki.setup, and running "ikiwiki --setup", the CGI script is successfully created.  However, if I then click on "Edit Page" link, I see nothing in the browser and the following in the logs:

-Can anyone decipher this for me?  I spent some time with cpan earlier today downloading the latest version I could find of prerequisite modules such as HTML::Template and CGI::FormBuilder.
+A different problem has reared its ugly head.  When I click on "RecentChanges", the CGI complains about an undefined subroutine:

 
 

-> It would help to know what version of CGI::FormBuilder you have. Mine
-> (3.03.01) does not seem to contain this error message. --[[Joey]]

-I have version 3.0401 of CGI::FormBuilder -- the latest from CPAN.  If you are wondering about any other modules, the answer 
-is likely the same: the latest from CPAN.  And you're right: the error string in question does not appear in CGI::FormBuilder.  I found it in HTML::Template (version 2.8).

-OK, so downgrading CGI::FormBuilder to 3.0302 makes the problem go away.  I'll leave it to you to figure out whether the bug is in CGI::FormBuilder or in IkiWiki. --[[Steve]]
+Indeed there is no such routine IkiWiki::XMLin().  I don't understand how this can possibly work -- as it manifestly does on linux.

 
 

+> XMLin is supposed to be exported by XML::Simple. My guess is that, due to a missing error check, XML::Simple is failing to load, and it's not aborting then. You probably need to install that module; in the meantime, I've fixed the missing error check in svn. --[[Joey]]
