I ran a Google search on "Tomcat Perl" and came up with a number of hits; this
one looks promising. It's a multi-part contraption (three steps, with several sub-headings and XML and stuff), but it seems to do what you want - drive a CGI program written in Perl from Tomcat.
Caveat: I don't have a Tomcat implementation to test this out. But I bet you do.
