=head1 NAME

Tutorial - Perl and Java

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Java and Perl have different strengths and complement each other well.

You can connect them at runtime with tools such as JPL, PJC, or
ActiveX. In theory, you can convert Perl to Java bytecode, and
vice-versa.

=head2 Note:

Not actually a conversion.

At this stage, we are generating Java opcodes by walking Perl's syntax
tree. This is very different from converting Perl to Java. It's a lot
easier!

=item 3 

If the constructor or method takes arguments, use getmeth to look up its
signature. 

=item 4 

Use $self to access Java instance variables and methods.
