Not as it is now. If you need that, I'd suggest installing something like OpenVPN and feed the communications through that - it's simple, easy to setup, and a reasonably efficient communications path.
My major problem is that I can not program in C. I know perl fairly well.
Why would that be a problem ? What you're planning to do can be done without touching any of the Hobbit code, you'll just be interfacing to the public interfaces (config files, hobbitd channels, the network interface on port 1984) and Hobbit doesn't care how you do that - whether it's from a Perl program, or a C program.
Of course, doing it in Perl means I cannot help you develop or maintain the code, since my abilities in Perl are probably even worse than your knowledge of C.
