Question about embedding & interfacing with C++ objects

[Brett W. McCoy]

I am building an embedded Perl scripting environment for a 3D modelling 
package.  I have the basic scripting engine working (that was the easy 
part), but now my challenge is to be able to directly interface with C++ 
objects inside the application.  What I really want to do is to be able 
to build Perl objects on the fly from live C++ objects.  For instance, 
the user has the application running with an open document with a 
hierarchy of objects, and each level (application, document, object)  
has a certain scripting context associated with it (not too different 
from DOM, I think), so you can run, say, a script that modifies the 
behavior of a group of objects as they are being animated.

I found, on CPAN, an aborted attempt at creating a C++ interface to the 
Perl API, and that might be a good starting point, but I wanted to see 
if anyone else has ventured into this arena.
