  i thought that was the case, so i was fairly sure there was no
ubuntu package for it.  no problem, this seems to have solved *that*
problem:

  $ sudo cpan File::Inplace

however, now that that's resolved, the build script runs through the
list of requirements and i get:

Checking prerequisites...
 - ERROR: XML::Simple is not installed
 - ERROR: Template is not installed
 - ERROR: XML::TreeBuilder (3.09) is installed, but we need version >= 4
 - ERROR: XML::Simple is not installed
 - ERROR: Template is not installed
 - ERROR: XML::TreeBuilder (3.09) is installed, but we need version >= 4

so start with:

 $ sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl libtemplate-perl

and i'm down to:

Checking prerequisites...
 - ERROR: XML::TreeBuilder (3.09) is installed, but we need version >= 4
 - ERROR: XML::TreeBuilder (3.09) is installed, but we need version >= 4

but that's the tricky one since the *current* perl package is
obviously not new enough.  under these circumstances, would i run cpan
again for this module?
