(It isn't entirely clear to me what the use.perl drop-down actually means,
and I'm too tired to test it now.)

I think what the Wiki Wednesdays wiki does is give you different ways of
inputting the same data - if it works sensibly, which I suspect it does,
there's one canonical content datum that gets stored, and translation
to/from this happens in between the edit form and the database.
Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple is different from this; it's designed for
wikis where you might want to write some pages in, say, Pod (Perl's
documentation markup) and other pages in something more suited to more
general textual content.  It's not intended for translating between one
markup format and another.
