How can you pass the arguments from the java program to the perl program?

[john klucas]

I have a stand alone application which take the inputs from the user. i have a perl program which works fine on its own.
But is there any way where i can take the inputs from that stand alone java application and pass the inputs to this perl program to do some processing?

It is not clear whether you want to do something like
java <yourjavaprogram> | perl <yourperlprogram>
or call a perl program from java, passing stuff to the perl program when it requests input and getting what the program sends as an output (which is feasible too).

To do this from an application, you can just do this.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("call perl programm here using normal command line...");
