I hate to throw any chance of showers on your great work, as I really think that there is much room for Perl to shine as a Java support language, and I can't find a link at the moment, but at Java1 it was announced that Java 1.4 will support Generics. A google search under "Java Generics" will yield more about about the subject. I could be all wrong here (This isn't my strong suit and I haven't really done my homework before posting -- shame on me) but it was my understanding that generics are they type of thing your doing here.

Sun's renaming of wheels only makes it harder to get into thier code.
