Here's the (current) plan... 1. Dust off java2perl6 http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?java2perl6 http://code.google.com/p/java2perl6/ and update it to generate valid current perl6 code. 2. Add a type aliasing mechanism (ie "for the Java URL type use a Perl Str type") to java2perl6 so we don't have to implement loads of Java types before we can get started. 3. Write some kind of very dumb "Hello World" skeleton JDBC driver, as a proof of concept that uses the interfaces generated by java2perl 4. Refactor Simon Cozens's SQLite3 DBDI driver to use ('consume') the generated JDBC interfaces. http://dev.simon-cozens.org/6pan/browser/trunk/DBDI/DBDI/Driver/SQLite3.pm That's not working right now, so here's a cached version: http://google.com/search?q=cache:T8FN2WYvgm0J:dev.simon-cozens.org/6pan/browser/trunk/DBDI/DBDI/Driver/SQLite3.pm Making a move on this has been high on my list of pre-OSCON tasks but working on NYTProf has remained a higher priority (there are some great new features in the next release). If anyone wants to help out with 1 and 2, you'd be more than welcome! Send me your email address and I'll give you a commit bit. Tim.
