+##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.
+
+I've tried various combinations of PERL5LIB and PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT to run this Makefile.PL but I'm not knowledgeable enough in Perl to get it to find the files in ~/.cpan. Thanks for any help!
