It has always struck me that POVRay and Perl make a
natural team. Perl's text-processing facilites, and the fact
that it is a full-featured programming language, make it a
great choice for automating the construction of scenes
which are, for one reason or another, difficult to build by
hand. I have seen a few mentions of this approach at the
IRTC. However, I have yet to come across any mention
of a more general solution- a POVRay Perl module, which
would simplify the process of developing Perl scripts for
POV output, and thereby keep every Perl-POV
programmer from having to start from scratch.

In light of this, I would like to develop just such a module.
However, I have no wish to duplicate someone else's
effort, or step on their toes, so if a POVRay Perl module
already exists, could someone let me know where I could
get information about it?

Thanks in advance.
