[Zope] Question on Perl , PHP in Zope (UVM etc)

[Marcio Marchini]

Hi,

	When Zope runs, the Python interpreter is running the code, so far so good. But
it is also possible to script Zope with Perl, so I was wondering if a new
instance of the Perl interpreter is launched every time (as with the PHP
Product) or if the Perl interpreter is "linked in" and reused ? If it is
reused/linked, why can't the same be done for PHP ?

	It seems that a Universal Virtual Machine (UVM) would be ideal to allow mixing
languages, right ? This way you have a common runtime (like .NET) and no need to
restart a different interpreter or fight different memory models or anything.

	(It does not have to be .NET, something like www.smallscript.com would do too -
not sure if there's any solid Open Source UVM out there, though)

	thanks in advance for your feedback,

marcio
