    As idle has said, if all you want is your output to go to a file, you can use redirection, or perhaps pipe to the 'tee' command. But you can work with the output of a program if you open the program in Perl using a pipe.

    # 
# note - untested code.
#
my $filename = "myfile.txt";
open TEXT, "-|", "program textfile" || die("Cannot start program\n");
open OUT, ">", "$filename" || die("Cannot open output file.\n");
while(<TEXT>) {
    chomp;
    print OUT "Simon Says \"", $_, "\"\n";
} 
close(TEXT);
close(OUT);

    On unix systems you can simple type: java filename > output.
    However this isn't related to perl.
