No perl bindings for Guppi, sorry.

There are python bindings, but they aren't as maintained as they
could be.  I don't know anything about python, so I rely on the

Either the guile bindings or the straight-C approach would work.  If
you are going to be pulling this data out of shared memory, it might
be easier to just work in C and have "native" access to the various
system calls rather than having to write wrappers around shmget (and
other stuff like semaphores, etc.).
