how to run cgi scripts (perl based) in wildfly8/undertow

Hi,I have to migrate a legacy application and the condition is to use cgi scripts which addreses perl scripts. In JBoss 6.x there was the servlet catalina.servlets.CGIServlet which did the Job, but now in undertow I do not know how to configure my application or better said how to run the CGI scripts. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance. Rodik

Just package the cgi servlet with your application and that is it.

good example would be to use IanDarwin/CGIServlet · GitHub or any other cgi servlet impl that is in the wild.

There isn't a CGIServlet servlet in undertow. Anyway it is just a servlet so you should be able to package it in a webapp and use your scripts from there or better use httpd, mod_proxy and mod_perl to get your scripts called.
