CGI servlet does recognize *.cgi extension.

All CGI scripts should reside in the right cgi bin path specified in web.xml 

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>clientInputTimeout</param-name>
          <param-value>100</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>debug</param-name>
          <param-value>6</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
          <param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
        </init-param>
         <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

Pls. make sure the cgi scripts are in the WEB-INF/cgi directory.  Any CGI 
applications that are executed must be present within the web application.

The following mapping works for me to run any cgi scripts just fine (*.pl or 
*.cgi).

   <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
