This has been discussed on the London.pm list and Kate Pugh, the author

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:

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

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.
