I know at least Chuck has already responded, but it may need to be
emphasized even more. Tomcat will not allow clients to directly request
_ANYTHING_ from the WEB-INF directory. This is per the servlet spec.

Thanks Charles.
I put it back:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cgi/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and restarted tomcat, we are still back to the same problem.
http://myhost:8080/WEB-INF/cgi/web_xml_mon.pl?qa-1
returns
-----------------
HTTP Status 404 - /WEB-INF/cgi/web_xml_mon.pl
type Status report
message /WEB-INF/cgi/web_xml_mon.pl
description The requested resource (/WEB-INF/cgi/web_xml_mon.pl) is
not available.

Your <url-pattern> is fine - all that does is select the servlet to pass
the request to. It's the URL you're using that's broken. Just take out
the /WEB-INF and leave the rest as is.
