I have FreeBSD 3.3 server and just had the FreeBSD Java JDK 1.1.8 installed.
I can run the "java" executable from my normal login. The problem is that when I try to execute the "java" program from within a Perl script and read back the results it is not returning anything.
$PipeMsg = 'java |';
open(JAVACALL, $PipeMsg) || print 'Error opening java call';
while (<JAVACALL>) {
$RetVal = $_;
print "<br>Return = $RetVal";
}
This should just retrieve and display the java help output, but nothing is returned, it also doesn't retrieve anything if I pass in a java class and parameters. Which do work if I run them from the command line, outside the perl script.
What else do I have to configure on the server to get the Perl script to execute the java program?
Best regards,
Ian
