Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
-Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::MarkDown]], [[cpan URI]] and
-[[cpan HTML::Parser]] perl modules be installed, and also uses the
-following perl modules if available:
-[[cpan CGI::Session]], [[cpan CGI::FormBuilder]] (version 3.02.02 or newer,
-but 3.0401 might be broken),
-[[cpan HTML::Template]], [[cpan Mail::Sendmail]], [[cpan Time::Duration]]
-[[cpan TimeDate]], [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]], [[cpan RPC::XML]],
-[[cpan XML::Simple]], [[cpan XML::Feed]], [[cpan File::MimeInfo]].
+Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
+[[cpan HTML::Parser]], [[cpan HTML::Template]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
+perl modules be installed.
-The [[tla]] support also needs the [[cpan MailTools]] perl module.
+It also uses the following perl modules if available: [[cpan
+CGI::Session]], [[cpan CGI::FormBuilder]] (version 3.05 or newer), [[cpan
+Mail::Sendmail]], [[cpan TimeDate]], [[cpan RPC::XML]],
+[[cpan XML::Simple]], [[cpan XML::Feed]], [[cpan File::MimeInfo]],
+[[cpan Locale::gettext]] (version 1.04 or newer).
+
+It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
+wrappers.
Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
documentation for details.
+The Debian packages depend on and recommend an appropriate set of packages.
+
+While Fedora 7 doesn't have an ikiwiki package, you can install needed
+perl modules using this command:
+
+ yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
+ perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
+ perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext
+
If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
required perl modules are installed, then run:
