Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in the topic. I've put a post 
up on my blog, at: 
http://boxcatjunction.blogspot.com/2009/04/invokedynamic-on-os-x-update.html

which has details of how to get a JVM with support for invokedynamic 
built on your system (primarily for Macs right now, other platforms are 
similar, with small variations) - and how to get some examples up and 
running - including one which is reminiscent of a Perl closure.

I'll also be writing up the current state of play with my code, and 
getting it to a state where I won't be embarassed to show it to other 
people.

If there's interest, I can also set up a separate mailing list to talk 
about it (or we can stay here / move to p5p, as people prefer).

Thanks,

Ben
