I think so. Thanks Jason. I'll have to change the java to return something perl can digest.

What do you expect it to print? You've returned a User object. What are it's public methods? What happens when you call them? You have a reference to a java object. The proxy details aren't that important, but you should be calling whatever public methods are actually implemented by your object. For instance, if User had something like: public String getFirstName(){ return firstName; } On the perl side you could do: $name = $obj->getFirstName(); Does that help you? -- Jason Stelzer men...@neverlight.com
