I have a Java application, which invokes perl. Here is my java code: 
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/perl.exe"  C:/CreateER.pl 
"Please \n ignore \n my friend");

[download]
This invokes the perl from Java. In my perl script, I get the argument in this way: 
@ARGV[1] =~ s/\\n/\n/g;
print(@ARGV[1]);

[download]
The line break was removed when retrieving the argument. The argument becomes: 
Please ignore  my friend

[download]
I want to keep the line breaks. This is not what I want. However, if I run the perl command directly: 
c:/perl.exe  C:/scripts2/CreateER.pl "Please \n ignore \n my friend");

[download]
It works fine. The correct argument is retrieved: 
Please
ignore
my friend

[download]
So it appears the problem happens in the Perl/Java integration. Any ideas? Thanks very much!
