I downloaded the latest 0.43 on my XP machine (SP 1) and JDK 1.4.2. nmake runs fine but as I execute the test I get random crashes of the JVM. It never seems to occur at the same place. I've tried with and without JNI - though JNI does seem to present fewer crashes. Is this a known bug? I can send more diagnostic info if needed.
One thing that is reproducible: 10_1_shared_alone....ok 4/4 this test gets stuck everytime. No CPU - just stops. BTW: I'm using SWIG to wrap libPerl++ (embedded Perl interpreter in C++). I've generated a Java wrapper (C# is also possible) and so far so good. I like libPerl++ and the SWIG gnerated code isn't bad. Are there other, standard solutions for caling Perl from Java? I want Java to be the boss - mostly for writing SWING GUIs around my Perl code. Any suggesttions would be appreciated. When I get my SWIG code cleaned up I can post it if anyone is interested. Combining libPerl++ (calling Perl from Java) with Inline::Java sounds like a great combination. Jim
