Yes, of course its possible. This is perl we are
talking about :)
To secure the data transfers I would do it under
https, like any other client <-> http server connection.
Gunther Birznieks has written JavaCGIBridge
( http://www.gunther.web66.com/JavaCGIBridge/ )

between Java Applets & CGI type programs. I have never
