Well, my point is that I don't think you will be able to ignore it.
Your boss will give you a product to maintain that includes someone
else's perl code - sooner or later.  Since it is "part of zope" and you
clearly "know zope" you should be able to maintain it.

I'm not talking about maintaining zope itself.  I'm talking about
maintaining web sites that use zope.
