I know everyone has been talking about XS, but have you looked into the
new(ish) Inline.pm?  It looks to be THE way to combine languages and send
data between them.  (Of course, I haven't used it, just read the docs, so
take this with large amounts of salt).

This would, of course, result in a Perl program with some C routines.
