I'd definately look at XML-RPC or SOAP before CORBA then, probably
preferring the later if you want to expose an OOP-y interface.  Both
are available for Java and Perl and both are likely to be more well
supported on the Perl side than CORBA (going from my experience last I
mucked with it from Perl).
