Patrick,
This is great news.
I'm at the German Perl Workshop, and just now getting to my mail. I just delivered a
90 minute talk on Inline and it seemed quite well received. I even mentioned that work
was being done on Inline::Java.
I have Inline version 0.32 complete and will upload to CPAN within the hour.
Cheers, Brian
