+I'm using Ikiwiki on a box where I don't have root access, so I install all of my Perl modules in `~/lib`. The `ikiwiki.in` script is ran in Taint mode, which means that it ignores the contents of `$ENV{PERL5LIB}`. The result is that the current versions of the pre-requisite modules I've installed in `~/lib` are ignored by `./make`, which uses the outdated, and therefore incompatible versions, from the system-wide `@INC`... ;-)
+
+I imagine that there's a clean and elegant solution to this, but the hack I'm currently using is to have `./make` alter `ikiwki.in` before it's run, by inserting `use lib ...` lines for each of the directories in `$ENV{PERL5LIB}`. Again, this is clearly ugly, but it allows me to run `./make`, so I'm submitting it FWIW.
