Python Perl interop

This is something I've been looking for for a while. I'm a huge fan of scripting languages, however their interop story is lousy. Each can talk to C pretty well, however they can't talk to each other.

This is surprising given that they all run on virtual machines. Microsoft's .Net framework does an excellent job of language interop (given the caveat that your language must conform to the CLR). I hope that someone takes this up in the future.
