- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
– Arthur C. Clarke

A quick CPAN search for Java reveals many options for communication between Java and perl. If it's for an online application, you could choose to have an applet (the user interface) communicating with server-side perl through JavaScript. Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do?
