abhishes has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello All,

I want to write a test suite for my ejb applications. I don't
want to write it in java as java is compiled. I want to use a scripting language
for this purpose... so that we can quickly write test cases and run them.
Can perl become a client to EJB applications?

regards,
Abhishek.

    It may be possible, but I'm pretty sure you'll be happier with Jython, JScheme or one of the other scripting languages implemented in Java. Since the scripts execute inside the JVM they have easy access to Java classes and objects.

    Inline::Java may help.

    But I would say that your concern is misplaced. Testing is a well studied thing in the Java world. Plus there are plenty of people who will give you advice on it.
