Ooo Ooo - XSLT?
Presumably I should read your sentence as "You will have the option 
of using Perl as well as XSLT methods pretty soon" and not "Thou wilt 
need Perl to get XSLT methods" ? :)

This is a good point Chris - it's got to be likely that more Perly 
people will migrate to Python rather than vice-versa isn't it? I mean 
if you already know Python, you're hardly likely to start doing your 
work in Perl are you? :)
