remove perl dependency

[mfulton26]

I really like what this does and I've gotten it working locally etc. but the perl dependency has me worried. Most of my coworkers have Windows boxes which means they will need to install perl in order to run an integration test suite dependent on this plugin. I noticed that MySQL used to publish a Connector/MXJ but it is no longer supported (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-mxj/en/connector-mxj.html). It looks like it did a lot of the same thing but it didn't have a perl dependency. Would it be possible to remove the perl dependency? The MXJ sources are available if they would help. Thanks.

@mfulton26 thanks for the suggestion, we'll try to do what's possible

I'm aware of the task, give me some time to find a developer...

Any luck on removing perl dependency..

FYI: The link I provided earlier shows that Oracle has taken down Connector MXJ documentation as it is a discontinued product now. However, the binaries (and I presume the sources although I have not recently downloaded it) are available in the archives: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-mxj/.
I mention this as Connector MXJ does a lot of the same things as this plugin except not tied to Maven, doesn't use Perl, etc.

Maven projects should work out of the box. Removing a setup requirement would be awesome.
