Calling Java applet from Perl

[Hammy]

Can this be done? I have a situation where the form variables are passed to me encrypted and I have the Java code to decrypt it, but I am not sure where to look to see how to call a Java App from within Perl and accept the result of the Java app. (Pass an encrypted string and get back a decrypted string). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You could have a look at the Java module on CPAN, it allows to call Java code from Perl (instantiate object, perform method calls).

Java::Inline might also be worth a look.

Hope this helps, -gjb-

Thanks gjb, I'll give it a try.
