NAME

PJVM - Java virtual machine written in Perl

SYNOPSIS

use PJVM;

my $rt = PVJM::Runtime->new({classpath => [qw(.)]});
my $class = $rt->load_class("MyApp");
$class->main(@ARGV);

DESCRIPTION

PJVM is a Java Virtual Machine written in Perl. It will proably be dog-slow and is just an experiment. Currently it is just able to load classes but not execute them which is being worked on.

The plan is to implement multiple bytecode backend execution engines, such as:

  • Simple switching runloop

  • One that can transform Java bytecode to perl optrees directly

  • Transform bytecode -> Perl source and eval

  • Fast JIT:ing backend written in XS

The execution during the lifetime of the app should not be limited to one execution engine and each class/method might end up being executed by different backend depending on a criteria such as maybe annotating the Java method with a PVJMExecutionEngine attribute or something.

Please do not report any bugs since this module is very experimental.
