I haven't looked at the client portion of SLIME in a while, but wouldn't there be some changes needed to deal with languages where statements and expression are different from each other? Getting Perl code into an s-exp would be fairly difficult actually (as opposed to getting an s-exp from a Perl complex hash -- which would be really easily) - generally (with Perl5) the consensus is anything that can parse Perl, is Perl. Python, Ruby and Perl6 (which effectively is a Lisp, complete with macros in forms of first-order primitives for CFGs) would, I am sure, be easier a lot easier.
