I've found the simplest wiki to install and get running in a short
period of time is phpwiki.  As you can guess from its name, it's
not written in Perl, but it is extremely lightweight in requirements.
It will happily run with a Berkley DB backend, so lack of a RDBMS
is not an issue.  I've got a couple of phpwikis hosted on one of
my own machines, so if you want I can do a setup in very little
time at all.

The only problem I've had with phpwiki has been authentication,
which is painful to get running unless you're using IMAP
authentication, basic auth, or none.

Cheers,

	Paul
