I'll add perl binding as soon as libgit part is there; the infrastructure is already in place (not now but it's in git history, you just have to dig it out), so it should be pretty easy too; so even if I wouldn't, someone surely will. ;-) I don't think knowing Perl or moreover the Perl XS horrors should be a prerequisite for this project.
