[Biojava-dev] Hi.. Calling Java from Perl

Yeah it is part of the development cycle. We need to integrate the
code some part of it is perl and some in Java.

>From your suggestions I feel I clearly have two options.
1. use a web service to talk between java and perl. This might not be
very efficient as we expect to make thousands of call per run.
2. Port the whole java code to bioperl.

#2 is scary but I might just have to do it.

Thanks again to all of you,
-Abhi
