RR> Fully embeddable into C?

 Yeah - you can use PERL as an embedded language for your C
 programs, or call specific PERL functions from C.  You can also
 write modules in C and dynamically load them into PERL (dynamic
 loading requires an OS capable of such - MiNT won't, Linux will).

 RR> That's rather cool.  How does it do that?  Does PERL have its own shell

PERL automatically ignores certain nroff commands you can embed into
your code that basically tell nroff to ignore your PERL code.  So,
when man reads the file, it ignores the PERL code.  When PERL reads
the file, it ignores these commands and reads the PERL code, stopping
if it finds a __END__ line.  Your man page is after that line.

 RR> What is SCO?

 Santa Cruz Operations version of SysVr4 Unix.  Its 386/486/586 based.
 I hate it.
