How to run perl cgi under TomCat server?

Leo

Dear All,

I have installed TomCat server in my linux computer. I hope to practice
some PERL cgi programming. I searched Google and I cannot find anything
particularly useful. Could anybody give me some information or advice?

Many thanks!

AKAIK, Tomcat is a servlet container, not a web server. Are you sure
you don't want Apache?

What I have is called Apache Tomcat server. http://tomcat.apache.org/
Apparently, I am new. Could you give me some more information regarding
the difference between the two?

Perhaps you should try somewhere that deals with web servers.

How you configure a web server to run CGI scripts is a feature of the
web server. It is completely independant of the language in which the
CGIs are written. You could write CGIs in C, Perl, bash, FORTRAN or
whatever and the webserver configuration (for a given web server would
be the same).

That said, my vague recollection is that Apache Tomcat is kinda "Apache
mod_java" with XML formated configuration files rather than the
plain-text ones you get in normal Apache. Appart from that I don't
think the config files are all that different.

But like I said this is a vague recollection and this is off-topic
here.
