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the current versions of the pre-requisite modules I've installed in `~/lib` are ignored by `./make`, which uses the outdated, and therefore incompatible versions, from the system-wide `@INC`...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. + +<pre> +Index: lib-fixup.pl +=================================================================== +--- lib-fixup.pl (revision 0) ++++ lib-fixup.pl (revision 0) +@@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ ++#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p ++use strict; ++use warnings; ++my $libs = join('', map { "use lib '$_';\n" } split /:/, $ENV{PERL5LIB}); ++s/(use IkiWiki;)/$1\n$libs/; ++ ++ + +Property changes on: lib-fixup.pl +___________________________________________________________________ +Name: svn:executable + + * +Index: Makefile.PL +=================================================================== +--- Makefile.PL (revision 2626) ++++ Makefile.PL (working copy) +@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ + ) + + extra_build: ++ LANG=C ./lib-fixup.pl ikiwki.in + LANG=C ./ikiwiki.in doc html --templatedir=templates \ + --underlaydir=basewiki \ + --wikiname="ikiwiki" --verbose --no-rcs \ +</pre>
