Isn't this covered in the FAQ?
Honestly I'm sort of surprised that there is such a strong reaction to this. When you talk about Perl for Zope, you're talking about three things:
Perl through the web methods Perl external methods Glue code to make these things work properly
I presume you're worried about #3. Actually, I shouldn't presume that, I don't know what you're actually worried about. Umm... what *are* you all worried about?
The only badness I can see coming out of this is this: At present, I can consult at a client who is running Zope, and I'm reasonably confident that I can read and understand all their code. When people can write their site half in Perl, I could well be stuck... unless I learn Perl :-) -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited
