> I feel very uncertain about how serious the Zope community is about
supporting perl. First of all, judging from the web there are not too man=

people using perl wit Zope the pyperl way it seems. Second, work on the
pyperl and zoperl software seem to have died off since Februay-March,
judging from the release history. Add to this the fact that I cannot get
pyperl to work.
> So, is there a future in perl for Zope, or should I learn Python and
forget about using perl with Zope?
