[Zope] Ability to access Perl modules from Zope is good

"The Perl for Zope project brings the worlds of the two most important open source programming languages together," stated Gisle Aas, Senior Developer, ActiveState. "Python programmers will be able to directly take advantage of the large collection of reusable Perl program modules, like DBI, found on CPAN.

This is good. Another trick in the tool bag. Being able to make use of Perl modules from Python is like the functionality provided by database adapters: Zope lets me access crufty old-fashioned relational databases if I need to.
