Hmm, that sounds like an interesting project. I may be interested in checking
out such a project, and contributing some code, but I'm not sure perl would
be the best lang to use. Maybe C or C++? C++ may be the best choice, since BB
is coded in C++, and that way you could easily access the objects in the BB
code.
