Was it attempted already?

Perhaps. It does sound like you might be interested in RPerl.

    Thanks, I know about RPerl's existence. AFAIK it is a subset of perl that compiles into C++ - so CPAN doesn't work. Surely got nice performance though

      A blunter point about RPerl: it's an agonising (see all the perl-critic stuff in the examples) and bad way to write non-dynamically-typed Perl. Use PDL, or write actual XS code.

      What performance does it produce for numerical processing, compared to PDL? I always wondered.
