Perl? Yuck. ;-)

I don't really know if it is relevant to this, but would OSA be of any 
use? (OSA == Open Scripting Architecture)
I don't know the status of OSA on non-Mac platforms, but if it is useful 
for this it would allow any language with an OSA plugin to be 
used...AppleScript, Ruby, JavaScript, probably Python and Perl, and 
others. I don't really know anything about OSA though, just an 
association that popped up when I read this.
