Running perl script within Java

I wanted to run this zipTransfer.pl perl program from within a function in Java

private void runZipTransfer() throws IOException {


Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"C:\\Perl64\\bin", "C:\\Lazy\\zipTransfer.pl"});


}

When running my Java program, however, nothing happens! Where's the issue here?

Try:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"perl", "C:\\Lazy\\zipTransfer.pl"});

You need to execute the perl interpreter:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"C:\\Perl64\\bin\\perl.exe", "C:\\Lazy\\zipTransfer.pl"});
