The direction might be of concern. You could write a simple piece of Perl using the CGI.pm module that would launch the Java app, and/or query a running one - for that you will want a better understanding of CGI.
May I recommend my own kvetching: <http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/TPFH/gen_doc.html> Where I try to list the basic reading material that will be useful in the 'web and perl' side of the process.
You are unfortunately correct, the problem of web-technologies is not one simple thing in one simple place because you have at least four issues you have stumbled into
a. HTTP
b. HTML/xHTML - for returning to a browser
c. CGI - the common gateway interface between
the web-server and your application d. Your cgi code and the rest of the code you will
want to work and play well with.If on the other hand, you are hoping to go from some Java App to something that would talk to a browser, or negotiate in the 'common gateway interface', with the web-server - that you will need to go through the 'javadocs' for that set of issues.
But the Perl Side of building the CGI, that we can help you with perldoc...
