The Java code you link to uses ECB mode to encrypt the data, which is extremely insecure (look at this Wikipedia article for a simple and graphic explanation of why). To be frank, taken together with the well-known weaknesses TEA has, you probably might as well not bother encrypting your data at all if you use this method.
If you absolutely want to use TEA in EBC mode you can't use Crypt::Tea, since it sensibly uses CBC mode (as you've already found out). You'll have to implement it yourself, the algorithm basically consists of a few lines of C, so this shouldn't be too hard ;-). I'd recommend going the other way though and modifying your Java code to use CBC as well (not rocket science either).
There are ten types of people: those that understand binary and those that don't.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
