title: How can I use a Perl module from Python?
body: <p>There exists a Perl module that provides the perfect functionality for my Python app.
  Is there any way for me to utilize it?  (it is <strong>complicated</strong>, it would take me a month to port it)</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to have to spawn a subprocess for every usage, as I need it several hundred thousand times (it is a specific type of data parser). </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your advice.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: asked for the module.  It's <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~freeside/Mail-DeliveryStatus-BounceParser-1.4/BounceParser.pm" rel="noreferrer">Mail::DeliveryStatus::BounceParser</a>.  It matches mail delivery status notifications to a list of strings that may indicate a bounced mail. (it runs the DSN body/headers through a mass of regexes as well as other tests.  it's a seriously awesome module.)</p>
