Abram told you what to do for C. If your friend is hell bent on using the
extensional features of C++ (and has a good reason for it), then he might
drop a line to Chip Salzenberg. Whatever there is to know about combining
Perl and C++, Chip knows it (at one time he was working on what was going
to be Perl 6, codenamed Topaz, written in C++).
