My basic question - "How to call existing Java method from Perl" has been asked and answered before, but I am confused by the various different responses. Instead of describing the Java code implemented I have provided code snippets (with possible syntax errors) providing the key elements below.

Public Class ConnProperties{
   private String driver;
   private String url;
   private String username;
   private String password;

   public ConnProperties(){
      setDriver(null);
      setUrl(null);
      setUsername(null);
      setPassword(null);
   }
   
   ... attribute getter and setter methods
}

Public Class ConnPropertiesInterface(){

   public ConnPropertiesInterface(){
      super();
   }

   public ConnProperties getProperties(String appID){
      ConnProperties connProps = new ConnProperties();

      ... Get Connection Properties from configuration file based on
      ... appID, update ConnProperties object with returned
      ... values such as
   
      connProps.setDriver(result.getString("driver"));
      connProps.setUrl(result.getString("url");

      return connProps;
   }
}

From existing Perl applications I need to be able to ultimately call the getProperties() method within class ConnPropertiesInterface and to decompose the returned ConnProperties object attributes to be used for connecting to an Oracle database. I have generated a jar file of the existing Java classes so that existing Java applications can successfully call this same method, now I just need to do the same from existing Perl applications. Being very new to Perl programming I am not sure the most correct/efficient way to accomplish this task. Thanks ahead of time for your help/assistance.
