Until now, the tool was available only in >O'Reilly & Associates' Perl Resource Kit-UNIX Edition, a commercial product. >JPL was developed by Larry Wall, creator of Perl and senior software developer >at O'Reilly & Associates. > >JPL's goal is to seamlessly unite the two popular languages in a way which lets >them complement each other's strengths. Java excels at helping computers across >a network or the Internet communicate and share data; Perl is used especially >for system administration and interactive Web sites. JPL enables programmers to >implement Java methods with Perl, and for Perl code to access Java via the Java >Native Interface (JNI). It includes a translator and build system for creating >JPL applications. > >The JPL tool and its source code are available as part of the latest >development release of Perl (version 5.005_54) and can be obtained at >http://www.perl.com/. Subscription information for the JPL mailing list is >available at http://www.perl.org/maillist.html/. ---------- >From: "Mark Manning/Muniz Eng." <markem@flash.net> >To: MacPerl Mailing List <mac-perl@iis.ee.ethz.ch> >Subject: Re: [MacPerl] How to translate a Perl source into Java CGI? >Date: Wed, Dec 9, 1998, 8:38 AM > >I remember about a year ago that Larry Wall announced (or someone posted >that he had announced) that he was working on a Perl to Java >translator.
