  your point is well taken, so i did the svn checkout.  first point --
i'm pretty sure one need not check out the *entire* svn repo, correct?
i mean, i need only the trunk if i'm working with the development
stream, correct?    no sense checking out unnecessary content.

  did the "perl Build.PL" and kept track of the perl packages that it
asked for one after another, might as well save that list for next
time.  and, finally, after about a dozen installed perl packages:

=====

$ perl  Build.PL

  obviously, i can handle the latter dependencies but what's with that
META.yml diagnostic?  my fault?  in any event, if you want me to test,
let me know, the machine has lots of cycles to spare.

rday

p.s.  where's the publican-website stuff?  will a successful build
create that as well?  sorry if this is all massively off-topic.
