You've got libfile-copy-recursive-perl 0.36, but Publican requires >=0.38 I just verified the installation instructions for Publican on Debian[1] using a fresh installation of Debian 5.0.3 and confirm that the correct version of libfile-copy-recursive-perl gets pulled in (0.38-1). I was then able to build html and PDF documents, although FOP threw up errors during PDF generation and I suspect some further tweaking is needed. That said, we haven't tested Publican with mml yet, and preliminary, informal tests based on your test case have not been encouraging :( Please feel free to drop by the Publican mailing list[2] and let us know what we can do to help you further.
