how can Apache run Java under Perl?

[grimbys]

Hi, I have a perl script with this sentence:

...
system "java program_java";
...

My script runs fine on my command line, but when I run it from navigator, with my Apache server and mod_perl active, it won't run fine.

Have I to install Tomcat or Apache Jserver?
What can I do?
Thanks you

IF you just want to run the java and get the output of that java you probably need to specify the fully qualified paths like

my $output = system('/usr/local/java2.222/bin/java /home/you/javafiletofun')

That will run the java file specified with the interpreter specified and deliver the output to your perl program. It sounds like perl is not finding the files 'in path'.

To test and see the real error do this :

my $output = system "java program_java";

and view $output. It will have the system level error in it since that is the output of a bad command. I bet it says 'unable to find java' or some such thing.

If you are expecting to, from perl, invoke some complex web UI tomcat java thing your barking up the wrong tree.
