Bringing the C API into Perl space

Around the turn of the century, when a limit was reached on how far you can mess with pure Perl, inspired Perl (and C) hackers have turned to the Perl C API.

In the last few years many modules have been released that bring the C API into Perl space: Devel::Declare, Devel::Caller, Scope::Upper, Variable::Magic, B::OPCheck and many more. It's a whole new level of fun, or a new level of chaos, depending on how you look at it.

I believe that this is the best effect that the whole Perl 6 discussion and development had so far.
