You say the perms are "wide open" on the file -- specifically, what are
they? Is the file executable?
What's the first line of the script? Is it
#!/path/to/your/perl
(where the path is "/usr/bin/perl" under most default Linux installs)
Windows and Linux execute scripts in different ways; the former
associates a file extension with an executable, whereas the latter sets
the interpreter in the script itself.
Try to run the script from the commandline. If the executable
referenced by the magic number (aka shebang, aka "#!") isn't there,
you'll get the "file not found" error.
I haven't run CGI under Tomcat 4 but I recall in Tomcat 5 you can
expressly state which interpreter to use in the <Context> element.
