How can I call Perl from Java?

Question

I have a Perl module that I would like to use from Java. Is there a way to call this code using either ActiveState Perl on Windows or the generic Perl that comes with Linux?

Answer 1

Sleep is a scripting language with an interpreter that runs in the JVM. From what I understand the Sleep language is basically Perl with some extensions. Your code may be able to run in Sleep. If it does you can instantiate the interpreter, run the code and retrieve the result.
