I do not know for certain, but I think that JPL is not installed by
default, so your binary version probably does not have it.

But, if you do "perldoc JNI", and it returns a manpage, then you have it
installed.

I think that your best bet for learning JPL is to retrieve the latest
version from CVS, and examine the README and example code. Here are
instructions:

  * Set the CVSROOT environment variable:

  export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvsroot

  * Log in (password is blank):

  cvs login

  * Check it out with:

  cvs checkout jpl

Hope this helps,
