It's just the typical JDBC get-the-driver-class-loaded snippet:
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance();
At this point I'm just exploring how literal the translation from Java to
Perl can be made - but Class.forName() is certainly a special case.
I'm using study_classes() for now, but I could add a little Java method
to do the Class.forName and call it from perl with the name of the class.
No problem.
Thanks.
Tim.
