modules.

Software tools on the Kit's CD include:
- A Java/Perl interface, written for the Kit by Larry Wall, creator of Perl. This new Java/Perl tool allows programmers to write Java classes with Perl
implementations. Now Perl programmers can exploit Java's wide availability,
while using Perl for the things that it does better than Java (such as
string processing).

- A snapshot of the freeware Perl archives on CPAN, with an Install program, a Search tool, and a web-aware interface for identifying more recent online CPAN tools.
