While we're on the subject of feature requests for a perl shared lib, 
here are a couple that would make my life easier.

(1) The ability to opt out of perl initializations which might not be 
safe in an embedded context (initialization of Mac toolbox stuff, 
attempts to write to STDOUT, etc.)  The Python shared lib is unusable 
(for my project) because it lacks this feature.

(2) The ability to trap memory allocation calls.  (It would be 
convenient for my purposes to be able to safely run perl code at 
interupt time.)

Hopefully, one the build procedure is less arcane, more people 
(including possibly myself) will be able to work on things like this.
