It's a slight improvement on the full url, but not exactly obvious to
human or search engine that it's the or a wiki.

I'd guess that it would come under both do***entation and sup****t.
BUT..
most im****tantly : use a subdomain - wiki.perl.org
One would assume that anything on the perlfoundation site or under
it's domain name would be about or directly to do with the work of
TPF, I would think that the wiki is directly to do with perl the
language, and it's users, so more appropriate for perl.org

That will reach the usual suspects, really we need it to reach a wider
audience, and a good url will help do that, as well as linking to it
on perl websites, be they the ohloh page, or in perltoc or search.cpan
or wherever.
