This expects a URL:

http://servername:80/iw-bin/mycgi

thanks..
I think it got the URL, error is not there..
but not reading the cgi..

#!/app/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
use TeamSite::XMLparser;
use TeamSite::Config;
use Citibank::TemplateUtils;

<script language="javascript">
alert('test my cgi');
</script>

my $cmd = "/apps/iw-home/bin/iwpt_compile.ipl -pt /default/main/2008_10_dev/WORKAREA/users/templatedata/ContentTypes/CATALOG/presentation/catalog_generatexml.tpl -iw_include-location /default/main/2008_10_dev/WORKAREA/users/templatedata/ContentTypes/CATALOG/data/en_US -ofile output/test.xml";

#execute presentation template command and return stdout to string

my $results = `$cmd`;
$results\n

exit;

Did you check for the compilation of your cgi, and the log file if any. If your cgi is being called as you say, then try debugging it from line 1. May be you can try by commenting the "use strict"

Think again - or better try what has been recommended first. callServer expects valid URL and yours isn't.
You can *play it safe* with Andy's suggestion or simply use absolute Path (providing that Server/Port are the same)
IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/catalog_details.cgi", params);

Note also that CGI is a protocol, simply calling arbitrary script CGI "does not a CGI make". As is your code's output (if you ever need one)
will never get bck to the DC FormAPI.

Actually - I think just providing the leading slash would have been sufficient: /iw-bin/mycgi
