note tobyink <p>It's possible to call Java code from Perl using [mod://Inline::Java]. An example module that does so is [mod://XML::Saxon::XSLT2].</p> <p>There are similar inline modules for other programming languages - [mod://Inline::C], [mod://Inline::Ruby], [mod://Inline::Lua], etc.</p> <p>The other way around - calling Perl from other programming languages - is also possible. Perl can be compiled as a library ("libperl") which can be embedded into C programs; and thus theoretically be called from any other programming language capable of linking against C libraries. There exists a <a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/perl">PECL module allowing Perl to be embedded in PHP</a>.</p> <p>I don't think this would be a fruitful or indeed sane way of getting Perl running on Android though. Maybe look at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/perldroid/">perldroid</a>?</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
