tomazos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

I have just started a new job and have been handed two systems to integrate.

One is a complex testing script (for embedded systems) written in Perl.

The other is a batch processing web server written in Python.

Basically I need to get Perl and Python "talking to each other".

I was wondering if anything is available for the purposes of calling Perl from Python and visa-versa?

Do you have any general advice on integrating Perl and Python systems?

Thanks.

Update: Thanks for the responses. I think what I want is an "Inline::Perl" for Python. Does such a beast exist? Has someone embedded a Perl interpretter in Python?
