You may want to look into Patrick LeBoutillier's new Perl module,
Inline::Java. This is *brand* new, and probably won't be on CPAN for
another week, but it is very promising. You can play with a prerelease
version available at:
http://ttul.org/~patrick
Inline::Java is a very simple way to get from Perl to Java and back. It
handles converting the basic Perl types to Java objects. Any Java object
can be passed back to Perl. That object's public methods can then be
called using Perl method syntax. Here is a simple program:
----8<----
use Inline Java;
$j = new JAxH;
$j->jaxh('Perl');
__END__
__Java__
class JAxH {
public JAxH(){ }
public static void jaxh(String s) {
System.out.println("Just Another " + s + " Hacker");
}
}
----8<----
Just run this like any other perl script. As long as 'java' and 'javac'
are in your path it will work. (You'll need to install Inline.pm as
well.)
AFAIK, Patrick is just working out some minor Windows issues before
releasing. So far this module has worked on Solaris, Linux and
Windows(partially).
Cheers, Brian
