&lt;p&gt;I wrote &lt;a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Ogre/"&gt;bindings&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/"&gt;OGRE&lt;/a&gt;. I found them to be fairly fast, actually, though of course most of the execution is done in C++ land.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You probably don't mean Perl specifically, but interpreted languages generally. But from what I see, a lot of times there are no bindings for Perl when there are for Python and Ruby. I think the reason for not writing bindings is not the speed (Perl is probably faster than Ruby, I don't know about Python) but rather the ease of writing the bindings. For example, for Python there is &lt;a href="http://www.language-binding.net/pyplusplus/pyplusplus.html"&gt;Py++&lt;/a&gt;; we don't have the equivalent of that for Perl.&lt;/p&gt;</field>
