Calling Perl From Java?

I did a google search on calling Perl from Java. I found one site
(http://ebb.org/perljvm/) that suggested the most promising project tackling
this problem had been abandoned.

The traditional approach is apparently very cumbersome: Have Java call C and
C all Perl. This sounds very tedious.

Does this sum up the situation?

Thanks,

I have had to do this.

Did a fair bit of research and the best that I could come up with (and
what we have implemented) is to call mod_perl url from java. That way we
don't have to recompile each time, and get some database persistance
with Apache::DBI.

Works out quite well.
