Good to know, then this is indeed the right list to discuss this.
If you want, more generically, to be able to use Perl 6 Regular Expressions in Java, you can build a rakudo that runs (with reduced functionality) on the JVM.
You mean a Perl interpreter that's been stripped down to regex and the bare minimum that it depends on?
I'm not sure there's a way at this point to call into the Perl 6 code from arbitrary Java code, however.
Arbitrary Java code wouldn't be necessary, it would be a wrapper class that exposes the API needed to whatever people wanted to do with a regex and a string.
