	There is an old, old perl binding for ORBit[1] that works but is fairly
incomplete, and nothing about ORBit1 is supported / maintained these
days so ...

	;-) of course, the python bindings work quite nicely. OTOH - it
shouldn't be too hard to write a good, and fairly complete binding for
ORBit2 - if you graunch James's py-orbit and Owen's old ORBit-perl.

	We don't have any level of certification AFAIK, but we try to stick
nearby the spec.

	HTH,
