If I'm correct, the embedded perl code is run through the Safe module, 
which would understandably restrict your usage of a JVM 
module.  (Otherwise, an exploit allowing user-entered data to be executed 
within Safe would be able execute arbitrary Java code -- even more 
dangerous than arbitrary perl executed in Safe).

 From what I understand, a global UserTag isn't run through the Safe 
module.  Read up on UserTags and put one in interchange.cfg that uses your 
JVM.  That might work.
