Would anyone happen to know if there is a PERL/java interface where these two languages could talk to each other?
Java can call any native function that's packaged in a dso or dll. (But is it possible to compile Perl modules to standalone dso?) Did anyone mention B::JVM::Jasmin or JPL? See links below...
