All this talk about Twiki got me interested, so I downloaded it onto my
more or less stock 10.2.1 system. Given the talk about MIME::Base64, I
fired up CPAN and installed it. CPAN complained about ftp, but I
ignored it, and perl 5.8.0 never surfaced. I ran a test script to make
sure base64 was encoding and decoding without problems. Following that
I moved Twiki into /Library/Webserver, fiddled with the permissions and
owners according to various instructions, and fired up Twiki. RCS
complained about my settings when I tried to modify a page, so I fixed
up some of the typos(?) in the instructions. So far it's been up a
couple of days and seems to be running OK. I haven't tried selective
protection yet, I'll see in a couple of weeks when my work life is a
little less hectic.
So far, though, so good - and damn near painless.

Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities

of God, and make pretences to break known rules by.
