I know you have customer asking for this, but please be assured, ZopePerl is dead. The project was started some years ago and nobody ever got it really running. Everybody who has been involved in the development has long left the project. The code is very old and most probably not working in newer Python / Zope versions.
Ulrich's other warnings above are valid, but pyperl does work on recent Zope versions. At the least, it runs well enough to support a fairly complicated perl application (that, for example, uses the perl ParallelUserAgent module) in Zope 2.6.1 (Python 2.1.3, on Linux 2.4.22, with Perl 5.6.1 built into pyperl). But I would not recommend pyperl, both for the reasons Ulrich gave and because pyperl is a pain to build, use, and maintain. The pyperl developers did a nice job, but the Python/Perl interface is inherently tricky. We hope to port the perl code in the application I mentioned above to become pure python code. -- Fred Yankowski fred@ontosys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA
