The java interpreter might not be in the path of the user the web server
is run as.
As an alternative, you might want to look into the Java.pm module, which
let's you directly interact with Java objects from Perl. To use it,
however, you have to run a small application server that Java.pm uses to
interact wioth the Java objects.
