I don't think anyone did the full on thing. But i found a few interesting dists on CPAN: Alien::Jerl - micro perl running on JVM (MIPS Interpreter) Java::Import - Use Java classes in Perl Inline::Java - Write Perl classes in Java. So it turns out, you actually can do in Perl everything you can do in Java, because you can just load the Java code into the perl interpreter. "For me, programming in Perl is like my cooking. The result may not always taste nice, but it's quick, painless and it get's food on the table."	[reply]
