 The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package.

-perl modules: `CGI::Session` `CGI::FormBuilder` (version 3.02.02 or
-newer) `HTML::Template` `Mail::SendMail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`
-(libtimedate-perl), `HTML::Scrubber`

+5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
 
-If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the required perl modules are installed, then run:

+`HTML::Template` `Mail::SendMail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`,
+`HTML::Scrubber`, `RPC::XML`, `XML::Simple`, `XML::Feed`
+
+If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
+`Markdown.pm` somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
+`/usr/bin/markdown`. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
