Hi Laura,

this will not work because Zope is written in Python. ExternalMethods are 
meant to allow you to extend Zope's functionality but this means using 
Python...

So two choices:

1) Have a Python ExternalMethod make a system call to run your perl script

2) Write the script in Python. XML-RPC is well-documented for Python.

God luck!
