msxml and perlscript

hi, I'm doing some experiments with msxml, 
one of them involves running extension 
functions in multiple microsoft scripting 
compatible languages. 

unfortunately I don't know perl that well. I 
want to have a perl sub return a value, of 
course I tried the following:


<msxsl:script language="PerlScript" 

implements-prefix="perl">
sub test(){
print "hi from perl"
}

</msxsl:script>


but when i try <xsl:value-of 
select="perl:test()"/> it doesn't work, by 
my understanding cause print goes to I/O and 
is thus disabled in the msxml environment.

also, if anyone has any example python 
extension functions for running in msxml 
please let me know.
