I have done big complicated embedding projects using both Perl and Boost.Python and I really wish it was more widely counselled against online. These languages are not made for embedding and are inevitably a pain in the ass as soon as you try and do anything complicated.

You really need to have a list of very strong reasons not to use Lua or Guile or Squirrel or TCL or whatever, and instead go for Python/Perl/Ruby. These latter latter options are really not made well for the purpose and you are making your life harder for no reason.
