not comfortable with Java.
There will be some way to call unix commands from Java program like we can use 'system' in C programming. I guess you can use same method to call perl as well.

Hi.

The first item of 600+ K hits from Google run command from java produced the tutorial article Running external system commands in Java applications at Learn Java: Running external commands in Java applications

It included a sample java code which worked on my system (gcj-3.3), as did a modification to call a perl script ... cheers, drl
