Well, one possible solution to returning arbitrarily complex Perl data
structures back to JS land is as follows:
* firstly, use Perl's JSON::Syck to dump the Perl data structures to
JSON strings
* Secondly, evaluate the JSON strings as JS code and assign the
resulting JS values to JS temporary variables
* set the temp var as the Perl callbacks' returned values
Yeah, I know there's still a good amount of XS/Perl code to write, but I
believe it's not difficult at all.
