[Biojava-l] Re: Bioperl-guts: new idl

Hi.

We have found it very usefull to script the existing biojava objects in tcl -
the algorithmic number-crunching library code is in java, and the
io/munging/scripting code is in tcl. It is a pity that there aren't currently
any good systems for embeding java beans within perl.
