The README.txt file of Zope-2.2.2 states that "Zope requires Python
1.5.2", so that is what I recommend too.  There is one patch that you
need to apply to python-1.5.2 before you build it.

For perl you can currently select between perl-5.6.0 or perl-5.7.0.  I
have been running with perl-5.7.0 recently.  No extra patching
required for this perl.  If you use perl-5.6.0 then you need to apply
the 'perl-method-G_EVAL' and 'perl-vcroak-null' patch before you
build.  You must build perl with the -Dusethreads option.
