I have a Java class that is an abstraction to all SQL code in our J2EE
application.  I also have Perl code that works with the database.  I
want the perl code to go through the abstraction for all SQL stuff. 
That way i have one manager that handles data and other people
(programs) can be notified upon inserts.  I was looking at CORBA to
allow my perl programs to communicate with the Java code that handles
all SQL stuff.

In some places I'm using RMI but RMI  is a Java -> Java technology.  I
do see perl RMI but i do not believe it can call Java methods.
