Hi monks,

I have two separate programs, one in Perl and the other in Java which have to communicate to a certain degree. Until now, I have managed to get through, using the loopback interface and exchanging simple messages over TCP. For the beginning, this worked well because data formats were simple and so were the messages (e.g. "login <username> <password>")

However, as the the whole application becomes more complex, I have to use a more efficient way so that Perl and Java share (or exchange) more complex objects. My colleagues use ZeroC for their code, but ICE does not have a port to Perl yet..Another way could be the CORBA-Perl module, but it has little documentation which makes me reluctant.

Since this is a Robotics project with limited time constraints, I would like to give a quick and robust solution for inter-operating Perl and Java objects. Is there any appropriate solution for that?

Thanks a lot!
