[Zope-Perl] New releases of Perl for Zope

[Gisle Aas]

Beta 4 or 'zoperl' and beta 6 of 'pyperl' are now available from
<ftp://ftp.activestate.com/Zope-Perl/>.  Perl for Zope should now be
fully functional on Windows.


Changes to 'zoperl' since beta 3 are:

   Use getSecurityManager().validate for validation of attribute
   access.

   Changed the meta type for the products to be:

        "Script (Perl)"                    PerlMethod
        "Script (Perl, unrestricted)"      PerlExternalMethod

   The class names has not been changed for now.  That should allow
   old products to continue to work.

   Win32 portability fixes:
      - escape "\" in filenames when they are evaled by perl
      - included win32 build instructions

   Fixed one more place where INSTANCE_HOME was simply assumed
   to be "." for PerlExternalMethod.



Changes to 'pyperl' since beta 5 are:

   Win32 portability tweaks:
      - make sure svrv_object.c is compiled as C++ (by renaming)
      - disable JMPENV code (required internal API not exported on windows)
      - deal with space in the path to python.exe

   Documentation updates (mostly regading MULTI_PERL)

   The dbi.py module does not insist on not working just because
   MULTI_PERL is enabled.



The direct URLs for download are:

   ftp://ftp.activestate.com/Zope-Perl/pyperl-1.0.beta6.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.activestate.com/Zope-Perl/zoperl-1.0.beta4.tar.gz
