-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!
+CORRECTION 1: I played around with CPAN and got the installation to the point of succeeding with >99% of tests in "make test".

+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.

+    mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 176
+
+Any suggestions? Whew!
