o I was wondering if there is a way to call perl functions from java.

Well, that would be Java question, wouldn't?

The answer is "yes", but unless someone else did it before (and I'm not aware someone did, but I don't do Java), it's not going to be easy. The short answer is, Perl is embeddable in C programs, and there are Java compilers/runtime environments written in C. So, it's possible. It's probably a lot easier to convert your Perl to Java.

Another approach would be to point out that before there was no overhead, and the overhead is created by a change (for the worse) of the design. Hence, the design is flawed, and it's the design that needs to be fixed.
