Re: CGI not executing

[Michael Eastwood]

never mind, I solved my own problem.  I took the servlet config out of 
the global web.xml and stuck it into my ROOT web.xml and now it works.  
I noted that Tomcat was producing a cgi-bin mapping for all of my 
webapps, not just the root one as I'd intended.  Now that I recall that 
the global web.xml is defined for all webapps, it's clear, but it's 
placement there is, I think, a little weird, considering the behaviour 
produced is not of the conventional form (ie all cgi scripts under 
/cgi-bin instead of <webapp1>/cgi-bin, <webapp2>/cgi-bin, etc).

Hi,

I'm having trouble executing a Perl CGI under Tomcat 5.0.19 standalone.

I've set up the global web.xml as per instructions in the CGI how-to, 
and renamed the appropriate jar file.  I've put my perl CGI scripts 
into the default /WEB-INF/cgi directory, and made sure they're 
executable.  I can run the scripts in that directory with ./<script>

When I go to /cgi-bin/<script>, however, my browser starts a download 
that blocks indefinitely.  My CPU goes up by around 10%, so something 
is happening, but no perl process appears in my process list and 
nothing ever arrives at the browser.

Any ideas?
