 Is it that I maybe have a too old version of some of the Perl dependencies?  The only mdwn.pm files
 that I have are the two I have just extracted from the new tar file.  There is *no* ./IkiWiki.pm file

+## Installation in a non-root enviroment
+I had a pretty hellacious time installing Ikiwiki (largely due to problems
