-  <li><a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/relinfo/INSTALL.html">Perl</a> (at least 5.004_04)
-  <li>A database engine supported by Perl's <a href="http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/DBI/">DBI</a>, such as <a href="http://www.tcx.se/">MySQL</a> or <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a>

+      <li> with <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/admin/newuser.htm">PostgreSQL</a>
+    </ul>
   <li>Unpack the tarball: <pre>gunzip -c fs-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
-  <li>Copy or link fs-x.y.z/site_perl to FS in your site_perl directory.  (try `<code>perl -V</code>' if unsure) <pre>mkdir /usr/local/lib/site_perl/FS

+  <li>Build and install the Perl libraries:
+    <pre>
+$ cd FS/

   <li>Enable CGI execution for files with the `.cgi' extension.  (with <a href="http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">Apache</a>)
-  <li>Set ownership and permissions for the web interface.  Your system should support secure setuid scripts or Perl's emulation, see <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/manual/html/pod/perlsec.html#Security_Bugs">perlsec: Security Bugs</a> for information and workarounds.
