** Low Priority ** What I meant is the semantics of backticks indicate that an exception that occurrs in the command enclosed by backticks are propagated to the initiating process at the point of the backticks. If the java program unexpectedly dies with a fatal exception this will kill the PERL program too, unless an EVAL block encloses the backticks to provide exception handling.
