Monks, firstly let me say that this question is highly speculative, designed to spur discussion (unless of course I have totally missed the one line answer!)

The Scenario:

We are using an integration product based around JMS queues. It is often necessary to put messages on these queues manually. For this task I see Perl as far more appropriate than Java as often these messages are stored in text files that need a level of preprocessing to parse out the message.

The Question

Although this is obviously going to be tricky, is it possible that a Perl program could publish directly to a JMS queue. Obviously this may be JMS vendor dependant due to the potentially different communication protocols used to communicate with JMS servers. I have checked CPAN and there is nothing immediately obvious. However, there are a number of modules that allow communication with a JVM so I have a small amount of hope.

Has anyone come across this problem, or a similar one of calling a Java API from Perl - I would be very interested to hear your comments.
