in reply to Return values to outside programs

Maybe you want to consider embedding Perl in your Java application. I've never done that before, so I can't give any further help.
Here is what I found on that topic. Hope it helps.

    I have considered embedding it in Java, but just looked at it once. I simply wanted the best of both languages - Java for the pretty stuff and Perl for the grunt stuff. I have plenty of good ideas to work on now, and again thanks all.
        I know I'm off point, but I did look at Tk, NetBeans is better than it. The others I haven't tried. I'm used to N/beans, and it is my philosophy if it ain't broke, don't fix it. As it is many others way of thinking, I'm sure.

        <\p>Just to finish this discussion I have Perl performing perfectly. It got over it's little hump and started talking to Java, or maybe Java was the moody one, or maybe I was the problem.

        <\p>Thanks for all the help folks, I do appreciate it...
