This is because of an old version of Locale::gettext which doesn't
include the OO interface. I had this problem too, but installing a
new version of Locale::gettext fixed it. --Ethan

Thanks for the note on this, made it very easy to figure out what was going on.  Just pointing out though that the Debian package doesn't require a new version of liblocale-gettext-perl.  I just got bit by this bug setting up a dev ikiwiki box on a mixed stable/testing box.  -- [[Adam]]
