Not surprised, really. Perl isn't well suited to embedded platforms. It just sucks up too much memory. Python probably is a better choice all round.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

    Perl is just not modular enough to work well for embedded systems. You can embed python, get the core language features, and not have regex capability. You can't do that with perl.
      So now it is considered a plus if you can cripple your language?
