in reply to Java cooperation

  1. 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.
  2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
– Arthur C. Clarke

It's entirely feasible to run a Perl process via a pipe from a Java GUI. Or interact with one via some RPC mechanism (RPC::XML or SOAP::Lite come immediately to mind).

    There is also JNI, Inline::Java, and with lots of manual work, translating from perl optrees to Java bytecode or the reverse.
