Somewhere in that perlmonks thread I suggested doing that, and the op 
confirmed that works.

But it's the absence of warning (or croaking) in the above version of his 
script that has me wondering.

I would think that Patrick might want to do something about that - and I 
think it should be addressable without having Inline do anything 
differently.

That is, I think this is entirely an Inline::Java issue - but if I'm wrong 
about that and Inline *does* need to do something differently, then it's 
probably better that I know about it :-)

Cheers,
