Is it possible to execute Perl code from java script?
I have installed apache-tomcat for the same.
In which folder should I paste the html file and the Perl file (uses cgi module) ?

Jump to PostJavaScript runs on the client. The perl would run on the server. Tomcat has nothing to do with either of them.

You would need to use Ajax.
You can make a request to the server with javascript, and store the response in a javascript variable. The request could activate a perl script, located on the server.
