One doesn't have to use any funky techniques for sharing most types of data between the two languages, either. Inline::Python comes with its own data translation service. It converts any Python structures it knows about into Perl structures, and vice versa. . Inline::Python sets up an in-process Python interpreter, runs the code, and then examines Python's symbol table for things to bind to Perl. The process of interrogating the Python interpreter for globals only occurs the first time the Python code is run. The namespace is cached, and subsequent calls use the cached version.
