That's a big jump for not knowing anything about the OP's environment,
requirements, etc.

That's better advice than above.

We run "real" apps under default PermGen all the time. They run just fine.

In my testing, Tomcat takes roughly 12MiB of heap space after startup.
I haven't actually tried to restrict Tomcat's JVM to that little
amount of memory because it's impractical for adding any of our
webapps to it. But saying that Tomcat needs a quarter gig just to get
started is wildly out of step with reality.

Again, this is very environment-specific. Perhaps you have a webapp
that doesn't use a lot of memory, while the OP may have a ton of stuff
in his sessions, caches, etc. Maybe he needs 10GiB of heap space.
Maybe he doesn't.
