Been there, done that, don't envy you in the slightest. ;-)

Without opening this discussion up again, I just want to point out
that the reference implementation of Jini is indeed Java-centric, but
that at least one commercial implementation of an SBA platform based
on Jini also supports C# and C++ as first class citizens. No Perl
bindings yet, but I have seen COBOL and Eiffel (!) integrated with
Java and C# using this tool.

Thank you, too. Good luck with the move and I'm sure we'll continue
some variant of this when you have more time.
