+ date="2013-08-11T01:40:23Z"
+ content="""
+According to [this page](http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=Ikiwiki) nothing has changed in MacPorts' ikiwiki build. Have you tried contacting the package maintainer or, failing that, submitting an update request to the relevant mailing list?

+If MacPorts is this behind the times, it doesn't make sense to me to recommend it to anyone. But I'm biased in favor of pkgsrc, so I don't feel comfortable editing the [[tips/ikiwiki on Mac OS X]] page to promote the thing I happen to prefer... but pkgsrc has Perl 5.18, and I keep pkgsrc's ikiwiki package updated at every release. --[[schmonz]]
