CGI/Wiki.pm doesn't do any actual CGI and I don't want it to start
having to care about how the information it spits out is output.

I think what you want is an extension of the node_name_to_node_param
and node_param_to_node_name methods in CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod
- see also the make_internal_link (etc) methods in there.
