What is a binding?

Will it make it possible for a Java (or Perl) program to interact with a 
scene during parsing? Kind of a macro being executed outside POV and its 
result being used in the scene again (without writing/reading a file). 

#binding {
  perl,            //language
  "GrowTree.pl"    //file
  Age              //Data needed by GrowTree.pl
  Shadowside
  Oak
}

This sounds more like a program that can output a POV-file but not interact 
with POV.
