I use Tomcat 5.5 to run my Perl scripts as CGI programs with the help of the CGIServlet (org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet) that comes with Tomcat.
For testing I run Tomcat 5.5 on Windows XP with ActivePerl as interpretator. I've found out that Tomcat/Acegi creates a cookie with a JSESSIONID that I can read in my Perl script. So I could create a table in a database with the id as a key and then one or more columns with the data that I need to send to the Perl scripts. I find this a bit awkward, but doable. I expected to be able to modify the servlet request in some way (add a header or a parameter) but I can only do that on the servlet response (after it has passed the Perl script) and not on the request.
