Indeed, when someone writes PyInline.Perl, it will be possible to write
horrors such as the following:

import PyInline

m = PyInline.build("""
use Inline Python => <<'END_OF_PYTHON';
def add(a, b)
    return a + b
END_OF_PYTHON
""", language="Perl")

print m.add(5, 6)
I don't even want to think of the implications...
