Using perl with cold fusion

[Hyperblaze]

Is there a way to have perl work with cold fusion?

Is there a cpan module or something which works with it?

Looking for a way to access a cold fusion object through perl

CF runs on java so at the very least you're talking about having an entire jvm going just to do this. That said, perl-java bindings might be the first place to start looking, but I'm not seeing this turning out very well (unless you had the whole jvm thing already under control). What exactly are you trying to do?

You could build a small web service around your ColdFusion object. That would probably be the simplest way, although performance and scalability implications are frightening 😛.

I think you will have better luck with accessing a CF object through python using Jython. What version of CF are you using anyway... this makes a world of difference.

:Q

That's ancient. It's a couple generations behind the hideous Java-CF hybrid monster that Macromedia created.

What are you trying to do exactly? Perhaps that will help us with a recommendation.
