Hi, Writing a script like this _should_ be possible. The only major problem that I can think of is the lack of an "open file" api without the associated GUI code, meaning I don't think you can write a script that opens a file without also initializing the GUI code.
The perl bindings fell into disrepair years ago and nobody has been willing to maintain them. Unfortunately I don't know of any example scripts that would do what you want.
