Just look at Maemo right now, you'll get a pretty good idea. There's
lots of Python apps around in maemoland, and they run reasonably well
even if they take a few secs to launch.

The perl interpreter is also on the N900, version 5.8.3

What are the odds of 5.10 or 5.12 making it into MeeGo? I can live with
5.8, I think, but I've been on 5.10 so long now I'm not at all sure my
stuff would work with 5.8.

I would expect 5.10 at minimum; for the short term release. Longer term I'd 
expect
newer versions to be followed.
But perl is like the C compiler, you do freeze that somewhat in the first half 
of your development cycle
since so many other things depend on it.
