perl install if only to go through the steps when dependancies fail.

The first time through it was daunting as I have to admit I had only

only to fall back to using apt-get to install what ever was available.

Anyway, with Padre I've been doing a lot of things I've never done
before, like pull trunk every time I log into to see what's changed....
and using cpan to install  the bits that Padre needs.  It's certainly be
a catalyst to leraning more about perl and cpan.

the culprit ) and then looking back to work out what needs to be
installed next came because I finally that a reason to do it... 

If I get time on the weekend I'll work something out and look to putting
it on the wiki if you like...
