[Zope] ANN: Perl For Zope

SOAP? (just kidding).

The head of my company here has a theory that all "techies" have a religion
when it comes to tools/languages/application environments. To a certain
degree he is right. I believe in Python. I use it, love it and live by it. I
have faith that if I write something in Python I can come back to it in a
day or a year and understand it in minutes. I am also a believer in Zope,
first for its power but second because it uses Python.

Zope will benefit from the Perl community just as it has with XML. I agree
with some of the comments that I don't want to see Perl code floating around
in my management screen but it would also be very powerful to have
modules/products written in Perl and dealt with in DTML.

There are tens of thousands of Perl programmers out there, just think of all
the cool things they write (especially if they found a better tool).
