Moe is the beginnings of an implementation of Perl 5 on the JVM (written in Scala). By design it's going to diverge from the standard Perl implementation somewhat, though there should ultimately be a common subset of Perl which runs in both. The Rakudo implementation of Perl 6 currently runs on top of the Parrot virtual machine, but is in the process of being ported onto the JVM. Update: Perlito 6 also has an experimental Perl 6 to Java translator. `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply]

IMHO only early stage projects like Moe. EDIT: Theoretically it should be possible to create JS code with perlito and run it on Rhino. Depends what you expect... Cheers Rolf	[reply]

I'd appreciate elaboration of what you're interested in. Are you asking because you have a specific need you have to address or due to curiosity about the Perl toolchain or something else?	[reply]
