Name: Mark Ethan Trostler Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage: http://www.zzo.com USER ID: MET-ZZO Desc: A module for Perl/Java interaction Name: Java.pm DSLI: bdoO Description: A Perl5 front-end for JVM communication Info: MET-ZZO More Info: I've been using this Module for a while - it lets you do things like: my $java = new Java; my $frame = $java->create_object("java.awt.Frame","My Frame"); $frame->setSize(400,400); $frame->show; & you can register for events on your object which will be propagated back to Perl5 & sent to your registered event handler, set & get fields, use static Classes & basically all the stuff you'd expect. It does require a JVM 'server' piece which is written compatible with JDKs 1.1 an 1.2. Of course the 'server' piece does not even need to be running on the same machine as this Perl5 front end piece - allowing you to say stuff like: my $java = new Java(host => "some.other.host.com", port => 2344); & then continue as usual & all yer command will show up on the remote machine. It's fully documented via POD and the Java piece is also fully documented via javadoc. I think it's slicker than the current stuff out there - for what it's worth of course. It has been on my website http://www.zzo.com for a while & have got some good feedback. I've been lagging trying to get this on CPAN but now's a good time!
