Abstract
A method and system for allowing a PERL application to communicate with distributed objects. One embodiment comprises a method in which first an adapter program receives a request from a PERL application. The PERL request specifies a distributed object with which the PERL application desires to communicate. The adapter program translates the request from the PERL application. For example, the adapter program translates PERL data structures into a format which is compliant with a communication program. Then, the adapter program calls the communication program to access the distributed object via Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). After the adapter program receives a response from the communication program, the adapter translates the response to a form suitable for the PERL application. For example, the adapter program may need to translate a data structure into a PERL compliant form. Then, the adapter program passes the response to the PERL application.
