Hello
I have Tomcat 5.0.27 with java 1.6.0_05-b13 on Win2003. Tomcat has a
couple of webapps running but these are not my concern. My problem has
to do with some static web pages which don't belong to a webapp. They
are simply a bunch of static pages that you can see on
http://foo.site.com/dir1/boo1.html http://foo.site.com/dir1/boo2.html
etc. The pages are located in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/dir1 . In
order to automate some tasks concerning these static pages I use a perl
script [1] [2]. Now, I would like to execute this script by visiting the
link http://foo.site.com/dir1/script.cgi
I have followed the instructions in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cgi-howto.html . I edited
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml and uncommented the cgi stuff. But since I
want the script to be inside $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/dir1 I changed
cgiPathPrefix to dir1/ . I also changed cgi servlet-mapping from
/cgi-bin/* to *.cgi
When I go to http://foo.site.com/dir1/ I see the directory listing and
the script.cgi . However when I visit http://foo.site.com/dir1/ I get a
404 - The requested resource () is not available.
So, I would really like some help on this simple issue. What should be
my parameters in confs/web.xml in order to execute the script which is
found in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/dir1 , when I visit the link
http://foo.site.com/dir1/script.cgi [2]?
Regards

[1] I know that since I use tomcat, I should be using a servlet to do
the perl script's job. But I don't know how to write servlets so I wrote
a perl script that I know how to write... I am totally new with Tomcat
and jsp... I simply want to do this task done :)
[2] The script I want to run is of the form
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
open (MYFILE, ">>a_file_inside_ROOT_/_dir1")
or die $!;
print MYFILE "Blah Blah\n";
close (MYFILE);
