Three great ways of using Perl and Java and other JVM-languages together are presented:
1. Using Perl to run Java. Create processes, setup the environment, output, input etc. without ugly platform dependent bash or even bat-scripts. Run more processes in parallel...
2. Using Perl from Java to do things that Perl is stronger than Java, for example parsing text files or accessing OS-functionality that is unreachable for Java because of platform-independence.
3. Using Perl to modify and refactor programs beyond what the IDEs offer due to its strong parsing and regex-capabilities.
