Looking for information by Kyle R. Burton

I've got a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to by
googling. I apologies if my questions are documented somewhere that
i could not find. Pointers to existing information would be greatly
appreciated.

Is JPL still under active development? I see that it is part of the
perl source distribution (up to 5.9.2) though some of the files in the
jpl directory have 1999 dates in them.

My goal is to provide a pool of Perl interpreters within a JVM. From
what I have read perl supports being compiled so that multiple
interpreters can co-exist in the same process/address space. PLJava
(one of the alternatives I found) uses a single static interpreter so
it is unsuitable for my purposes. From what I have been able to read
about JPL I can't determine if it supports this model or not.

I'm also looking at Inline::Java's support for embedding Perl into Java

Any other information, links, anecdotal stories, etc are appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Kyle R. Burton
