It looks like it's just a perl solution to the same problem, no indication that it interoperates with java RMI. JPL doesn't really seem to have gone anywhere since its inception, not that I've worked with it, but I've been keeping an eye on it, hoping for better Java/Perl integration (maybe something like the nifty JPython implementation - I'm becoming more and more impressed with the Python crowd, they keep doing the nifty things that I wish the Perl community would do). My first thought on reading your post was already suggested by Barret; just hit the Perl scritps via an HTTP server. Perl has excellent web server integration. To make your life easier on the java end of things, take advantage of some of the powerful Perl XML modules to generate XML for the response, then use a Java XML parser on the java side to translate it into something that's useful for your java code.
