Let's say you got things from Perl->Parrot. it should be delectably simple to go from Parrot->Perl. so this wouldn't be a problem with Java bytecode. Perhaps you may have to specify to the compiler to compile down to Parrot target code. Or would it be simpler to just convert Java binary to Parrot binary???? cheers, Ramesh > Any pointers on the same. > > Cheers. > Karthik. > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More > http://faith.yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
