Hi all, I am working with an application that is all in java. At certain points in this application there are places you can plugin scripts or executables to do some processing of potentially 10,000's of files. In the original version of this application these scripts were called in a 'batch' mode and where given a list of all the files they needed to run over. Now the architecture of the application has changed so that the scripts run over just one file at a time. This creates a massive overhead, because the application has to shell out to perl for everyfile. The creators of the application said to get rid of the overhead, scripts should be coverted to java classes and the classes can be called directly from the program and not have to shell out to the system. Well this creates quite a problem for me. I either have to deal with the high overhead or try to convert some fairly complex, regex heavy scripts to java. So I was wondering if there is a way to call perl functions from java.
