CGI is run under a special user with restricted rights and
an empty path variable.

You should always, yes *always* check the results
of system operations and return the error ($! for
internal processes, $? for daughter process).

Give it the full path to java and the program.

my $java = '/full/path/to/java';
my $program_java = '/full/path/to/program_java';
system ($java $program_java) == 0 or die $?;
