"Should not" is rather strong and a little misleading.
What you need to keep in mind is the warning in the docs.

CAUTION - CGI scripts are used to execute programs external to the Tomcat JVM. If you are using the Java SecurityManager this will bypass your security policy configuration in catalina.policy.

Why don't you run perl in apache and integrate it with tomcat ?
Tomcat should not be used with CGI ( security issues )

Importance: High
Hello,
I use the Apache Tomcat.5.0.16 on the SUNOS 5.8 UNIX
With Tomcat we want execute cgi-scripts. So I modified all in web.xml and removed the file servlets-cgi.renametojar to servlets-cgi.jar If I start with Netscape the follow URL: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/test.pl so I get the follow ERROR:
Can't open perl Script ........./test.pl No such file or direktory
Use -S to search $PATH for it.
If I delete and make a follow link:
rm /usr/bin/perl
ln -s /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/perl then it is running.
Whats wrong ??? What I have to do, that it is running with ln -s
/usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
In the first line of the test.pl I have still #!/usr/local/bin/perl and I made chmod a+x test.pl and with command from xterm I can execute it with the full path from the errormessage Can't open perl Script ..... !
Please help me because I will be else crazzzzzy :-)
Thanks and regards
Siggi
