Hi Marco,
Your best bet is Python, not Perl. I have good news and bad news. The
good news is that you can program OOo with Python and create add-ons.
The bad news is that Python doesn't eliminate the complexity of the OOo
API. But at least you'll be using a better language than StarBasic or C++.
Okay, places to learn how to do this:
1) Start here:
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html
2) Then go here:
http://ext.openoffice.org.nz/doku.php?id=cookbook:python_uno_component
And ask questions at [email protected] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Once you figure out how to do what you want, please add what you learn
to ext.openoffice.org.nz (it's a Wiki) so that the next person has an
easier time figuring it out.
With luck, one day we'll have a solid set of instructions for people
wanting to program OOo in Python.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Greetings,
What if I wanted to implement some OO.o macros with Python?
What should I study, do, code, patch, download...?
Rationale:
poor end user (me), without any realistic possibility or skills to
hack OO.o core code, not really eager to dig into StarBasic, has some
complex Python text processing routines *already* written from other
projects, by him and other guys.
Hence, poor guy would love to use *those* Python scripts from within
OO.o directly on the content of OO.o files. Instead of learning
StarBasic and rewrite the same routines with it.
So, is there a way for a normal end user, which has only the pre-built
OO.o binaries, to add a Python interpreter to it and attach scripts to
buttons, menus etc?
TIA,
Marco
PS: Ditto with Perl, in case using it in OO.o is different than Python
