I had  actually ported the ezca calls to perl some time ago. 
I have a perl module which can be called directly from perl. I have been
experimenting with this for a while.
It works nicely.  I am still in alpha mode, will one day add it to the
EPICS distribution as an extension.

Currently I am interested in doing ca instead of ezca.


Any interested parties let me know.
