What about something as simple as calling the perl interpreter with a system call? Something as simple as this: 
qx {perl -c $function_to_be_executed}

It's clumsy, yes, but it should work.

    Overhead of calling a system process. If we're doing this for every post, PM would grind to a halt. The function is already loaded in memory, we just have to learn how to call it.

    I'll work up some demo code like this, but without that efficiency, it isn't worth inserting.
