I need to get an array from Perl script to Java program.

Can we directly access that variable in Perl directly from Java, or is there any way to return that array from the Perl program to the Java program?

A simple solution to transfer data from one process to another (no matter what language) is to use serialized strings.

Serialize your array to eg. a JSON String and deserialize it in the target process. If its a really simple data format, you could also use a field delimiter and simply concatenate the array fields with the delimiter.

For accessing Java class from Perl, I would suggest Inline::Java. Once you have that interface running you can easily pass different data structures.

A very simple solution to do this would be to write the array in a csv format and have your have program read from this file.
