Perl is a language optimized for textual processing.  With things
like it's built in regex engine it does this very well.  But it is
not what I'd call appropriate for embedding into a 3D game.  I don't
need operations on strings of text but I do need operations on vectors
and stuff.

It is the same with all the other scripting languages I know.
I would consider using an existing interpretor if it was talyor
mode for this kind of application.  But I don't know of any such
beast.
