It's not. It has no JRE embedded in it, and coding a java engine
in perl would be almost as complex as it would be stupid.

Look at java-based automation things instead, but be aware that
java-based checks are just plain horrible to run unless you can
get a java-daemon to accept queries from the command-line and
return the results to you. Java has a ridiculously high loadtime,
making it extremely unsuitable for writing command-line apps and
nagios plugins.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
