Perl is not so popular nowadays, so there are less authors willing to
contribute to if_perl.xs. I do not think there are any technical
reasons (I do not know XS, but I am the person who initially wrote
Python tab page objects and can say that there should not be any
problems on the Vim side and given that there are objects like $curbuf
I do not see why there could not be something like $tabpages).
