+Error received when following a "Create New Page" (eg. ?) link: 
+
+> `Error: [CGI::FormBuilder::AUTOLOAD] Fatal: Attempt to address

+
+I could probably find several other flavors of this error if I went
+looking, but I trust you get the idea. 
+
+The CGI starts to render (this isn't the "you forgot to set the
+permissions/turn on the CGI" error) and then fails. 
+
+Further details:
+
+- Running on shared hosting (dreamhost; but everything compiles,
+  dependencies installed, the site generates perfectly, other CGIs
+  work, the file permissions work).
+
+- It's running perl 5.8.4, but I did upgrade gettext to 0.17
+
+- the server is running gcc v3.3.5 (at this point, this is the main
+  difference between the working system and my box.)
+
+- I've removed the locale declarations from both the config file and
+  the environment variable.
+
+- I've also modified the page template and have my templates in a non
+  standard location. The wiki compiles fine, with the template, but
+  might this be an issue? The CGI script doesn't (seem) to load under
+  the new template, but I'm not sure how to address this issue.
+
+- All of the required/suggested module dependencies are installed
+  (finally) to the latest version including (relevantly)
+  CGI::FormBuilder 3.0501.
+
+- I'm running ikiwiki v3.08. Did I mention that it works perfectly in
+  nearly every other way that I've managed to test thusfar?
