perljvm - The Perl to Java Virtual Machine Compiler
perljvm, the Perl to Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) Compiler. The goal is to support the Perl language
natively on the JVM without needing the C perl system around.
The project is basically defunct, as the primary author (Bradley M. Kuhn) only had time to finish a proof of
concept and now is too busy with other matters to work on it.
perljvm began in December 2000. This
approach used perl's B:: modules to generate the internal representation
used by GNU Kawa.
For a detail description of the plans, please see the email announcing the plans for this new
effort.
The new effort caught up completely with the B::JVM::Jasmin
effort. There is potential to go even further is clear, though, as GNU
Kawa is very versatile.
Sadly, bkuhn was never able to get others interested hacking on this
effort. What is written about in his Master's Thesis is basically a proof
of concept. It needs lots of hacking time to actually be usable for
anything. If someone wants to take over, please email bkuhn.

will get interested and take over the effort.
