I think strings are better supported in Ada than in C++. Given that it isn't especially weak - and as you say, use of enumerals may be a big help - I wouldn't see any reason to make one's life harder by mixing languages and using Perl. Making a project multi-lingual is unwise unless one has a compelling reason to do so.
