Use Perl function with java

[lenny]

I have a java program designed to search websites for links, the user interface is java but the search function is Perl. I can't find anyway to start the Perl script from the java code without using the Microsoft .NET framework.
I also need to pass the Perl script the name of the first file it's to search.
Thanks

You run other programs from within java using a newProcess command

System.newProcess(<name of perl script>);

the name of that method might be off, I'd check the System API first

I do agree with the previous post though, you most likely are using javascript, rather than JSP
The above only works for java (in a web services case, JSP).
