using a perl mod

[David Bear]

almost 41 million hits from google about using perl mod's in python was a
bit discouraging... So, I thought about asking humans.

There are some perl modules written to manage files, acls, etc in afs.
Rather than wrapping the c-compiled versions of afs commands in sys.popen
and parsing the output, I was hoping to use the perl mods and the perl
objects returned by these mods in python -- since I can't stand reading
perl.

The question then becomes, are there any python modules that encapsulate and
map perl objects into python object?

Re: using a perl mod

Don't know if there is a way to call perl from Python but the perl
inline python module allows you to call perl from python from within an
outer perl interpreter.

Thts what I make of the following anyway:

There is also:PyPerl at:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/pyperl/perlmodule.pod

But you need to check if it is current.
