Java Give input to a perl script while execution

Hi,

I have a perl script which prints me the epoch value of a specific date and time given.Now I want to proceed to a next step ie i want to give the input at the time of execution.
I have to initialise the date and time values in the script before executing it.But now i want to give the date as input during executing the script so that the script prints me the epoch time of any date i give.
Can someone please suggest me in getting this. Smilie
My code looks as below:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Time::Local ;
$sec=00;
$min=01;
$hours=00;
$day=1;
$month=0;
$year=110;
$Beg_time = (timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$day,$month,$year) * 1000);
print "Epoch Beg Value: $Beg_time\n";


Thanks and regards,
Jyothi

NAME
stMktime, stWriteTime - date and time handling SYNOPSIS
#include <config.h> #include <sttk.h.h> time_tstMktime (char *string); char*stWriteTime (time_t date); DESCRIPTION
stMktime scans the given string and tries to read a date and time from it. It understands various formats of date strings. The following is a list of all valid formats, optional parts in brackets. [Tue] Jan 5[,] [19]93 This includes the standard asctime(3) format. Jan 5 With no year given, the year defaults to the current year. [19]93/01/05 This notation requires month and day represented by exactly two digits. 5.1.[19]93 This is the usual German notation. 5.1. German notation referencing the current year. A certain time, given together with the date must always have the following form. hours:minutes[:seconds] Each of the fields must be an integer value within the proper range (hours: 0-23, minutes and seconds: 0-59). Values below 10 may be written as one digit numbers. The time value may be placed anywhere in the date string: at the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the middle. Any amount of white- space may be given between a field of the time value and the separating colon. The time is always considered to be local time. stWriteTime generates a time string similar to asctime(3) from its date argument. SEE ALSO
asctime(3) BUGS
Time Zone Names within the time string (like `MET') are not handled properly. In most cases they will cause a failure. sttk-1.7 Thu Jun 24 17:43:35 1993 sttime(3)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 01:51 PM.
