Include Perl in Java

Question

Is there any way to execute perl code without having to use Runtime.getRuntime.exec(\"...\"); (parse in java app)?

Answer 1

In the future, the standard way to use any scripting language is through the java Scripting Support introduced in JSR 223. See the scripting project homepage for a list of scripting languages supported at the moment. Unfortunately, Perl isn't on there yet :-(
