Kwiki to TWiki Text File Converter

This script is a mod of PeterThoeny's DolphinToTWikiAddOn for people who want to import content from BrianIngerson? 's Kwiki into a TWiki.

Converts pretty much everything, although there are idiosyncracies.

Metadata is not converted, however suitable default metadata is created.

(Seems like there were some changes to what is in TWiki.cfg, for instance $revCiDateCmd)

Usage

I might as well copy liberally from Thoeny's documentation as well.

example% kwiki2twiki.pl fromDir toDir

Attention: toDir is assumed to be empty. Existing files will be overwritten!
