You can embed a Perl interpreter and call out to Perl code using perl4caml's Perl.eval function. The API is even "type safe" in as much as you can construct and examine the values going between the Perl and the OCaml code, and detect errors at runtime (at compile time too in some circumstances). http://git.annexia.org/?p=perl4caml.git;a=blob;f=perl.mli;h=64d7904eb633bcc410f796d19e289bca49931bb5;hb=HEAD#l258 Your users might not thank you for this ...
