Tip Top has a product called Objective-Perl which basically takes perl and
puts it in a framework.  It's supposedly available for Rhapsody PPC/Intel
and YellowBox NT/95.

In this way, you could give someone a standalone perl program.  Though
you'd want to keep the objective-perl framework out of your code perhaps so
the user could just install it in their own Library folder, the Network
Library folder, or the System Library folder.  In that way, anyone could
run a stand alone perl program.

Oh ya... you can also call send a message to *any* other object... whether
that be perl, obj-c, or java based.... or Tip Top's Objective-TCL,
Objective Python, etc.
