Dear Monks,
Am I right that it is possible to use any name for cgi-bin directory. It looks like it works but not everything, so I want to first make sure that it's possible. In
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\web.xml file I write: 
    <!-- The mapping for the CGI Gateway servlet -->

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

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

so that I use two instances: cgi-bin and MyName in my web server and thus run 2 different Perl/CGI applications.

Is it OK, or I can expect some hidden problems?
