I'm stunned that you're stunned. :^)
Seriously, Python and Perl are two scripting languages, similar in
scope, both successful. The Java market has about a thousand choices
for app servers, whereas the Perl market's need is largely unmet.

Yes we will. As Jim is fond of saying, we allow methods in a lot of
languages already: Python, HTML (DTML), SQL, and soon XSLT. The latter
is *definately* one that will make Perl look readable. :^)
Don't worry, this is a Good Thing. Scripting languages should work
together and present a strong alternative.
