Speaking of Perl... I also had a need for an expression parser in an
Ada program.  After looking at what's available, and the time it
would take to do what I need in Ada, I decided on embedding a Perl
interpreter.

I spent one day developing the package, and the test program, and
testing the interpreter.

You might want to consider such an approach.
