Have you looked at SWIG or XS?
I use SWIG regularly, and believe it's the best option currently available for C/C++ bindings. It's also nice that you get Python, Ruby, Java, etc. bindings along with the Perl ones. I have written XS for a couple of projects, but prefer SWIG or Inline::C.
BioPerl is a project that started over a decade ago
Age and organic growth have nothing to do with its problems, except to the extent that Java's popularity when BioPerl started led its original developers to overengineer the heck out of it. Like I said above, IMHO the best "refactoring" would be to start over.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
