I looked into this a while back, and concluded that Python-in-Perl is
relatively easy, while Perl-in-Python would be a real pain. (I assumed that
actual interpretation would be necessary; using the C extension facilities
to run the other language is a cheap trick. (And mostly useless, since
fork()/exec() or system() can do that just as well.) I also assumed that the
C extension facilities could be hacked to emulate each other.)

Now I actually have a use for Python.pm: it would be nice if psh
(http://www.focusresearch.com/gregor/psh/) were capable of inline Python
evaluation. (OK, I admit it's just for the hack value. :)) If you're
interested in such a project, and want to have some FWP and FWP, drop me a
line.
