in thread Possibility of Perl running on Java VM?

But I belive it will pay off. Most of desktop computers (ones with Win/Mac ussualy) have Java VM installed.

So if Perl would be able to run on it, you could write apps for basicly "all" computers in the ussage today.

"ALL" - OK I'm exagerating a little bit, but you get the point.

    Maybe so, but good luck finding a recent JVM for any platform other than MS Windows, Sparc Solaris, x86 Linux (32 bit, I believe), and perhaps Mac OS X. I have code that runs more places than that, and it's not Java code.

      Corect me if I'm wrong (probably I am to some point) but from the list that you wrote, most have Perl ... yet Windows doesnt have Perl.

      And overall, weither we like it or not, Windows has most desktop users (personal computers, in companies) ...
