Good work fella!

You know what's *really* *really* cool about this script?  It means we don't
have to write a converter to change between a usemod flat-file backend
and a CGI::Wiki one.  I've just hoovered grubstreet down into a wiki
based on CGI::Wiki, at
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/cgi-wiki/wiki.cgi

The source is in
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/cgi-wiki-usemod-emulator/

Caveats:

- It hasn't got the proper grubstreet home page, since that's not
  actually a wiki page.  So check out Recent Changes to see the
  grubstreet pages.

- It doesn't handle all the formatting right yet, but now I've got the data
  sitting there it's much easier for me to work on it.

- In particular, it doesn't differentiate links to existing pages from
  links to nonexistent pages.

- It relies on some patches that haven't gone in to the released
  versions of CGI::Wiki or Text::WikiFormat yet (since the CGI::Wiki
  ones rely on the Text::WikiFormat ones being in, and I only sent them
  to chromatic today).

- It's currently missing certain usemod features like comments and usernames.

But, ooooooooooh, shiny!  The possibility that inspired me to write
CGI::Wiki in the first place[0] is finally in sight, and in no small part
thanks to the wikihoover.  I owe you some beer, Ivor.

Kake
[0] ie emulating and extending usemod in order to get grubstreet onto a
    decent codebase.
