This has been discussed on the London.pm list and Kate Pugh, the author 
of CGI::Wiki said ...

Well, not quite.  grubstreet is still running on a slightly hacked
usemod.  We'll be transferring it to OpenGuides[4] once Earle gets some
syadminny stuff sorted out.  In the meantime, there are two Oxford
guides running on OpenGuides; a general one and a vegan one:
  
  http://www.ox.compsoc.net/oxfordguide/                                        
                                 
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/openguides/vegan-oxford.cgi                 
                                 

CGI::Wiki is not a wiki; it's a toolkit for building wikis and
wikilikes. OpenGuides is a kind of cross between a Wiki and a CMS, and
is built on top of CGI::Wiki.  I think this is important to emphasise;
you can't just install CGI::Wiki and have an instant wiki.  It doesn't
take long to write one, though; it took me about an hour the other day
(before breakfast too) to put a basic one together for mstevens, who'd
said he wanted a wiki that he could edit and others could only read:
  
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/mwiki/read-write.cgi                        
                                 
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/mwiki/read-only.cgi                         
                                 
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/mwiki-0.01.tar.gz

Every wiki I've written with CGI::Wiki has used TT :)

CGI::Kwiki and UseModWiki both install very quickly and are instant
wikis.  UseMod is more featureful at the moment, but CGI::Kwiki has code
that doesn't make you want to stick pencils in your eyes.  Until Ingy
started working on CGI::Kwiki, my general wiki advice was "install
usemod, and migrate to CGI::Wiki if and when you want to customise it
beyond the conf file".  CGI::Wiki grew out of various people's
frustration with the lack of metadata support in traditional wikis, and
my inability to hack on usemod code without screaming.  It has a lot of
prerequisites because it can do a lot of stuff.  If you find installing
modules tedious then you probably don't want to use it.
 
AxKit has a wiki, but I haven't used it.  MoinMoin also seems popular.
