Tomcat is way more complexity than I'm up for. So far I've scanned the PHPWiki user stuff, but I think I need to print it out and look at it properly.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
All of the wiki tools are PHP. The wikipedia stuff ... wait. Ita took my Benji and said naught.
Go with PmWiki. You'll love it.
All of the wiki tools are PHP.
Python wiki. Perl wiki. Another Perl wiki. Half the wikis from this excellent guide linked to by Tom Warin aren't PHP.
Sure, take the word of some Warin dude who is up to his ass in perl and python.
Next, point to a project that actually works, in either lingo.

You need cites of Perl projects that work? Honest?
Yes, honest. I am going on about Wikis, now. PHP is all about the text manipulation, which is what Wikis are all about.
I lurves me some perl ... but I have got nothin' for the extensiblity of perl wikis.
I have no reason to assume that the Perl wikis listed above don't work--do you?
Yes. I have tested each of them under actual usage. TVTropes gets north of 500K hits a day, and it busted all of these.
Put my tit-oriented joucularity aside for a moment. This is a true report.
Which one did you end up using? I'm sure there are PHP implementations that don't scale either, but I'm merely talking hypotheticals here.
TVTropes uses PmWiki. I have modified the source extensively. I made a bunch of revisions to the source, to provide additional features. These, unfortunatelly, were related to the file layout of the 1.(whatever) release. Which layout changed radically for the 2.x release.
So, I can't tell you anything about PmWiki 2.x out of personal experience.
There were some performance issues .. leaks and whatnot ... that I patched over. I don't know if these were addressed in later Pm releases. I can tell you that my version of Pm is cranking 500K+ hits, all out of cache, with only a gig of ram hardware.
