Way cool!  I bet there's a big bunch of people who would rather write
Java servlets in Perl.  Not to mention applets...

If there's ways to tweak Perl such that it makes great gains on the JVM
side, lemme know.  I imagine you could do some nice things with "int"
declarations, for instance.  Also, it'll be interesting to see how
the upcoming "just do the right thing" semantics for Unicode plays under
the JVM.  (I think it'll make things easier, at least until someone
says "use bytes".)
