This is great!  I've actually been working on something very
similar for Perl.

So far I can execute Perl code in Lisp and get strings or
numbers back.  Haven't had time to study handling Perl
arrays, hashes, or callbacks.

I'm sure if comp.lang.lisp got wind of this, the howls of
protest would be even louder.

To answer the burning question, "Why in the name of all that
is holy would you ever want to DO such a thing?": Firstly,
why not?  Secondly, cpan.org has thousands of obscure but
useful little modules that may never get ported to
Python/Ruby/Lisp/etc.

I wasn't planning on saying anything publicly until it's
more complete, but if folks want to know more just let me
know and I'll throw up a web page.
