Has anyone extended their application to be able to run interactive scripts?

Im looking into possibly perl, or perhaps Windows Script (which almost looks abandoned by MS). All I want is to launch a script engine and have a nice clean interface between me and the engine, where my app would provide a few custom calls and some variables to set or retrieve all via call backs or something.

Any opinions?

I'm using HyperHost from Dundas, which has a nice wrapper around the ActiveScript engine and an editor with IntelliSense. Unfortunately Dundas does not offer HyperHost anymore.

If you are looking for something free:
