Hi,


I am looking to download JPL (java perl interpreter)
binary/package. Couldn't find it when I searched on
cpan.org. Would you give any guidance on where to
get
it and install it?

Thanks in advance,
sakina

The JPL is part of the main Perl distribution available at
http://cpan.org/src/README.html.

You can have a look at my struggle to make it work on my Linux distro:

Well, that was with Perl 5.8.0 and my distro; didn't try with more
recent versions of Perl nor other distros.

Sakina,

After attempting for a number of months to get JPL working as required I decided to give up and find my own way round the problem. There is a huge overhead involved in using JPL and the benefits in doing so are limited.

An alternative to using JPL is to bridge the gap with C, which is essentially what JPL attempts but in a convoluted way.

Let me know if you are interested and I can forward you some example Java, C and Perl modules which may be able to help you in this.

Cheers

Stevie

A little Googling made me find this link; it is written by Mr. Jepson
and seems to be an upgrade to what I have read at the time:

Hi Stephen,


Thanks for your email.
I am definitely interested of other way around which
will fill the needs of what I am looking for which is
to be able to re-use/leverage some existing perl code.
Please send me the examples you have whenever you get
a chance.
