Hi Patrick, Thanks for your reply. I'm not in a "hurry hurry", but I do have to project how long it will take to accomplish this and convey it to my supervisor. What is your projected available date?
I would like to extend my help to you if possible. Unfortunately, I don't really know much about Perl and the Inline::Java project, but I have done a good bit of Java with some JNI work. Is there a CVS repository that I can tap into your current work? I looked into JPL but it seems like the project is not as active as it should and it really has a static flavor and I would like to have more of a run-time dynamic approach which is supported under Inline::Java. In other words, I think it is easier to start JVM on my own and invoke JNI to embed a Perl interpreter and perform some Inline::Java initalization such that it taps into the existing JVM instead of starting a new one. My real goal is to come up with BSH support for Perl using Inline::Java and I would hate to hack out pieces between Inline::Java and JPL to get it done. Again, thanks for your reply and looking forward to your current work. > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick LeBoutillier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 10:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Java and Perl integration (comments are appreciated) > > > > Ed, > > > > I'm currently working on implementing such functionnality > at this very > > moment.
