gEDA-user: gnucap from perl?

[Dan McMahill <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone written a perl module for communicating with gnucap?

I'd like to use gnucap for some very simple and very specific circuit 
optimizations and perl would probably work out well.  I see that there 
is a ruby one, but I still haven't had time to learn ruby.

Also is 'build' the prefered way to modify a transistor size and then 
resimulate?  My circuit is simple enough that most of the time is spent 
parsing a large model file and not on the actual circuit calculation so 
I want to avoid doing the parsing on each iteration which means I need 
to communicate with a single running gnucap session.

Thanks
