       Jerl allows perl to run within the JVM (not having to access any
       external libs).

   DDeettaaiillss
       Jerl allows perl to run within the JVM (not having to access any
       external libs). Perl has been virtualized to run within the JVM. The
       current implementation is a version of microperl.

           Jerl's purpose is merely to pull Perl into Java (no JNI/native Perl)
           Fun
           Not speed (see Inline::Java in Alternatives Below)
           Use Perl from a Jar

   WWhhyy nneesstteeddVVMM // MMIIPPSS
           nestedVM provided a straightforward means of recompilation
           MIPS running within Java is not fast, but there are alternatives for Perl Java integration if speed is a concern(see below)
           Implement project in a maintainable way so updates are not too time consuming

           For speed / optimization Inline::Java works
           Check CPAN.org, search Java (there may be something similar)
           Goto Perlmonks.org, search Java (there may be something similar)

           jerl.jar is required for jerl
           jerl_perlVM.jar is a wapper for interfacing with jerl via Java
           you may find both in the eclipse sample project

   ""jjeerrllVVeerrssiioonn(())""
       "jerlVersion()" returns the current version of jerl from the Jar and of
       this package

       JVM A working JVM must be available for this to work properly
