CGI-Wiki (0.63)

I only gave CGI-Wiki a 1-star rating to visibly lower the rating that it's listed with in the search results, so that users get a chance to see there's an alternative module instead.

This module hasn't been maintained for 2.5 years. If you're looking at a modern Perl-based wiki, you may want to consider the Catalyst-based wiki, MojoMojo.

To clarify for an earlier reviwer. This module was renamed about two years ago to Wiki::Toolkit which *is* very much still maintained. Please do some research before you make a public comment.

Update: In fact the Module documentation itself points out the rename to Wiki::Toolkit with the following

"This module has now been renamed Wiki::Toolkit and no further development will take place under the CGI::Wiki name. Please upgrade at your earliest convenience."

In reply to "Chris Prather"

That's nonsense. If the module is renamed, this one must either be deleted or converted to a wrapper to the new one instead of filling CPAN with junk.

This is a very good framework for building Wikis. It is database oriented in the sense that the included backends all rely on DBI to handle the storage, so there is no flat file thing.

There is no ready-to-run Wiki.cgi included (which is what I tried to overcome with CGI::Wiki::Simple), but writing your own Wiki is a breeze with this toolkit.
