use Perl

This is the best news I've read all week! I am one of the developers of Reaper, an audio recording/editing application. Reaper supports user scripting via Python::ctypes and Perl::FFI. Python of course works out of the box, and Perl is a constant portability headache (good luck finding a functional Perl::FFI on OS X or x64). http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=59436 If there's any support we can offer, please let us know, we have the maximum enthusiasm for your project!
