Use perl to call a java class

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a JAVA library that some users need to interface with through perl. I have looked and have only found one solution the Java.pm 2.1 at CSPAN. Is there another solution that is more strait forward that does not require a java server and port communication?

There is active development of an `Inline::Java` module, which uses Brian Ingerson's Inline module. To call methods directly from a Java class, this will probably be your best solution. Look for it within the next few months.	[reply] [d/l]

If you're willing to compile your Java to ELF code genuine (pronounced "jen-yu-AYN")(see here), you could hack up some smart C header files and easily link them into Perl using perlxs, Inline::C, or SWIG.
