Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm trying to run Perl scripts (as CGI scripts) in Tomcat 6.0 for Windows XP (MSI installation). However, it seems that if I try to configure Tomcat 6.0 to run Perl, Tomcat just stopped serving any pages at all. According to Tomcat manual:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html" rel="ugc">http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html</a><br />
<br />
it says the CGI servlet and servlet mapping in web.xml has to be uncommented, which I did. However, once I do that and restart Tomcat, it doesn't function anymore. Does anyone know how to configure Tomcat 6.0 to run Perl and also functional normally? Thanks in advance.

Tomcat 6.0 and Perl

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
