Perl + Java

[corrieknor]

Is it possible to call a java program from within my perl code and use
the return value from the java program in my perl program?

Thanks in advance

Also: The Perl script should parse a paramter to the Java application

of the language it is written in, and inspect its return value to find
the exit status - remember that you will have to shift it right by
eight for the actual one.

It's probably a safe bet that someone invoking Java from Perl is not
likely to be terribly concerned with the overhead of system().

The perl script should call the java appl. with a parameter. This
parameter is used in the Java appl. to look something up and return
this to the perl scripy
