Seconded, Surely for most purposes the language used to implement is irrelevant. Code in whatever you want, stick PHP/Smalltalk/whatever language into Zope if it means more people can use it, and save me having to write my own stuff ;) The important thing is the framework!

Frankly, I don't know what all the fuss is about. While I would personally choose Python over Perl when scripting, having additional choices is never a bad thing.
Here are 3 reasons why Perl methods should be added:
Increased userbase for ZOPE. Reusability of working Perl code. The ability to use Perl should I decide it can do the job better.
If you feel that you need to stop using ZOPE because they added functionality, then see ya later. In addition, if you decide not to start using a great product like ZOPE because you feel you are being picked on, well then sorry, but you will be missing out.
Fighting over this is silly and it wastes the time of those who would like to find meaningful answers to posed questions.
