As for Perl, I doubt it. I personally can't see any kind of
scriptability support. We have a kick-arse plugin system; if you want
something done, file a wishlist for a new plugin, or to extend existing
plugins. Scripting support would mean an ugly hack code-wise, and it's
something I really do *not* want to see implemented (C++ to Perl
bindings? UGH!).

(Besides, Python 0wnz).

Yes. We have an extremely flexible plugin system :)

Oh, and BTW: We have OSCAR support. It's in 0.5.x, I think, and
definitely in the upcoming 0.6.
