As a point of interest, one of my coworkers at @$ (my ackronym for
ActiveState) has successfully added Python support to Inline.pm! You can
call Python functions like Perl subs and pass scalars/arrays/hashes back
and forth. It will be available in version 0.30 (the next major release)
due out by Chistmas ;)

There are many other cool changes as well. I'll post a prerelease to
SPUG as soon as the whole thing is stable again.
