Ruben,

I have been running Spider under Debian (currently the "sarge" version)
for nearly two years and the installation was fairly straightforward.

All of the perl CPAN modules you need are already include in Debian, so
you don't need to use the installation procedure in the Spider
instructions.  It takes a bit of work to figure out some of the
package names, as they do not exactly match the names of the CPAN
modules.  I'll be happy to assist if you need help with this.
