This is what I've in mind for the solution:

When the applet game is solved, the java code will get a unique code from a hidden file residing in the server (in a directory above public_html). It'll then call the perl script with that code to do the updating.

The perl script will get the code from the same file and do the matching. If it's matched, the necessary database upgrading will be done and then it'll write a new unique code to the hidden file.

Something like that. Not sure whether it makes sense...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
