Another alternative is Java.pm which allows your Perl process
to communicate with a running JVM either locally or remotely
& do stuff like:
use Java;
my $java = new Java;
my $frame = $java->create_object("java.awt.Frame","My Frame");
$frame->setSize(200,200);
$frame->show;
Available at a CPAN near you or http://www.zzo.com/Java/getit.html
enjoy,
