It's possible to call Java code from Perl using Inline::Java. An example module that does so is XML::Saxon::XSLT2.

There are similar inline modules for other programming languages - Inline::C, Inline::Ruby, Inline::Lua, etc.

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 PECL module allowing Perl to be embedded in PHP.

I don't think this would be a fruitful or indeed sane way of getting Perl running on Android though. Maybe look at perldroid?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
