Since Harald did not reply, I've begun working on Perl bindings.
The actual bindings will be done with Inline::C.

It will feature an OO API with named parameters to facilate the usage.

For instance:

use Config::Augeas ;

my $aug = Config::Augeas->new( root => '/etc',
                               loadpath => '/usr/local/share/augeas/lenses/') ;


The $aug object will keep track of the C augeas* structure.

I'll get back to you when I get a better idea of the Perl API for
Augeas for the other functions.
