Java to Perl and then back to Java

[natalia2k]

Hi,

Am new to Perl, and currently I need to know if its possible to use Perl from Java for few processing and then return back to the Java Program.

Its like Java is my main application and it invokes Perl and needs to pass an object or any argument. This object will be used by Perl for some processing and after its done, it will return another object back to Java.

Is this possible?

I understand that its possible to "use" a Java class in a Perl module, but my main concern is passing an instance back to Java.

Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is "yes".
Can you tell us what platform this has to run on?
Windoze or Unix or Linux (etc)?

Try this:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl sample.pl");
InputStream in = p.getInputStream();

And so on.
