Please, not that.  There's a wide community of PerlScript users, and the
semantics are different, the associated bugs and features are different,
etc. etc.  A minor issue is that there may even be a TM on PerlScript
which might not jive w/ the Zope definition, I'd have to check.

Regardless of the PerlScript issue, I too don't like the word script, as
many many people refer to "Python scripts" all the time, and they mean
something altogether different than what is currently PythonMethods.  I
think that calling them scripts is inviting a whole other set of
confusions, different but not altogether dissimilar from the use of the
word 'Method'.

I would argue for some other word that's not currently
overloaded.  Zap?  Zop?  Zup?  Z\Up  (that's the swedish front round 'u'
sound =)?
