I really don't know enough about it to comment intelligently. However, presumably this wiki would be run on one of the jboss.org boxes, so it would already have jboss + a database running. I really don't know whether the perl wikis have any security vulnerabilities. It also seems like good advertising and a reasonable test to run one on jboss, whereas a bit odd not to. But, I have about 30 minutes experience running a wiki, so I really don't know what I'm talking about here.
