+03 September 2010, Report on successful manual install in Debian 5 (Lenny) AMD64:
+
+note: Maybe much more easy using backports, but using this tools you get a plain user cpan :)
+
+This where my steps:
+
+As root (#):
+
+ # aptitude install build-essential curl libexpat1-dev
+
+As plain user ($):
+
+ I use to install user perl modules using local::lib:
+
+ http://github.com/poisonbit/sandbox/blob/master/bin/myperl.sh
+
+ After that and relogin, you can install cpanm :)
+
+ mkdir -p "$HOME/downloads"
+ cd "$HOME/downloads/"
+ curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
+ source "/home/$USER/.bashrc"
+ wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ikiwiki/ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ cpanm Text::Markdown
+ cpanm URI
+ cpanm HTML::Parser
+ cpanm HTML::Template
+ cpanm HTML::Scrubber
+ cpanm CGI::FormBuilder
+ cpanm CGI::Session
+ tar -zxf ikiwiki_3.20100831.tar.gz
+ cd ikiwiki/
+ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/$USER/.perl5 INSTALL_BASE=
+ make
+ make install
+ make install INSTALL_BASE=/home/$USER/.perl5
+
+Using cpan or cpanm with local::lib, you can install any other needed dependency, as plain user in your home (XS modules may need -dev packages)
+
+After all, here it's:
+
+ ikiwiki --version
+ ikiwiki version 3.20100831
+
+Hope this could be useful for someone some day.
