By default, all requests - for any file - will be forwarded to JRun, which will then use the filters in web.xml to determine which files it should actually run. If a file isn't to be run by JRun, the request will be passed back to the web server, which will then (in theory) handle it normally. The determination about which files are passed to JRun is controlled by the context root, which by default is "/". This is why some sites, like Adobe's site, use context roots like "/cfusion" and ensure that all CF files are within a directory that matches that URL pattern. All that said, I don't think the problem has anything to do with JRun. > We can run this perl code from the command line.

I think that your virtual host isn't configured to run Perl. You could test this by creating another virtual host that is configured like the others in all respects except without a connection to JRun.
