No, wait, wait, I was thinking putting a Perl interpeter in the kernel
to replace some of the syscalls, and even providing sys_perl ().
The Perl interpreter would be a 20 byte program or so:

Sample Linux/SPARC Perl interpreter included for this new and exciting
framework:

#include <unistd.h>

mov __NR_perl,%g1
t 0x10

Guys, I am sorry if you took the Java/Mach/Linux posting seriously, it
was just a posting for the monthly "Unclear on the concept" award.

Have fun,
Miguel.
