If you have CGI programs written as perl scripts, how closely you can integrate with Zope depends entirely on what you are trying to do; as an application server designed around the object database, you can run DTML, python, and (soon) perl scripts to work with objects in the database; however these scripts are not simply CGI programs, but code to traverse and use objects in the object database or attached relational database(s). Zope has a built-in search engine that uses a catloging system that might be able to do what you are looking for... What is it exactly that you seek to do? We might be able to answer your questions with more specificity.

I have just uploaded an existing web site into my zope database. However, I have been using cgi scripts which run perl programs on my site to search for data & this aspect of the web site does not seem to be working properly. I wonder if zope can handle this? best regards, Eva Alam. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
