Please let me know what do you mean by privileged usage.

Since you have mapped the CGIServlet to /cgi-bin, then you will want
to have your HTML file (located in the webapp root) to reference
"/cgi-bin/read_toggle.cgi" as the action.
Note that the URL reference is mapped from the URL space
(/cgi-bin/read_toggle.cgi) into the webapp's resource space
(WEB-INF/cgi/read_toggle.cgi) which is why the paths don't appear to
match.
Finally, if the Perl script isn't that complicated, you should
consider re-writing it in Java since you are using a Java application
server. It will be much easier to deal with everything that way.
Who said that the cgi-bin script was perl ? (not saying that it isn't, but nobody said it
was either).
As it stands, whatever it is, it is being run (at first) by perl. But if perl notice
another interpreter in the shebang line, it will happily cede its turn.
Anyway, it raises the fundamental question of why go though all the trouble to run a
(possibly perl) cgi-bin script within Tomcat ?
