CPAN is your friend ... but it's getting to be a bit of a monster. My
strategy is to use it for a test install and then save all the source
and install manually (or build packages) for production.

BTW... I installed it on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
You may want to try etch. I expect to type:
apt-get install twiki
Answer a few questions and then fire up a browser.
Actually, you should have been able to do this on Ubuntu by adding
to /etc/apt/sources.list ... but I'm not sure about binary
compatibility. Etch has moved to gcc4 ... (but Ubuntu is usually ahead
of Debian by a few months).
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is gcc4--versions before that were not.
All of the extra Perl modules I needed on 6.06 were installable via
apt--only one came from the universe repository. So only Twiki required
a manual install.
