Isn't there a Perl compiler that compiles to Java bytecode? If you like
writing this stuff in Perl so much then write it in Perl, compile it to Java
bytecode and call the Perl routines from your servlet. Other alternatives
would be to use some other technique like JavaServer Pages or an HTML
framework.
Has anybody out there reused Perl code by compiling it to Java bytecode?
I'm curious since I'm wondering about the possibility of reusing Cobol code
this way.
Sorry, but I would rather not see the Java language "enhanced" in this way.
