JPL is included as part of the O'Reilly Perl Resource Kit
(at least it's in the unix edition) available at fine
bookstores everyware -- it'll set you back about $150 US.
>From p. 2 of Perl Utilities Guide:

  JPL is a Java/Perl interface written by Larry Wall
  exclusively for the Perl Resource Kit.
  ...
  JPL allows you to easily embed Perl within Java applications
  and provides "glue" between the two languages.  Using JPL,
  you can write embedded Perl methods that manipulate Java
  objects and primative data types.  Perl methods can accept
  Java objects and primitive values as arguments, and can also
  return objects and values to Java methods.

So if that's what the original question was asking for...
go buy a copy of the Perl Resource Kit.
