Evolution CVS has a means of piping messages to a process and getting back (via exit code of said process) a value which can be compared against to find whether or not you want to filter that message. At some point we plan on adding a scripting engine to Evolution so that users can implement their own "wouldn't this be cool" features themselves, so I'd rather not add Perl now only to remove it later in favour of some other scripting language. I'd prefer to do it once and do it The Right Way (tm). Besides, we will probably not want to use Perl anyway, we'd probably want to use something else (first off, I don't know perl and to me it's not a very attractive scripting language). I know Miguel is pushing for c#, which actually kinda sounds like the best idea. We've also looked at guile and python, but I don't think python's interpreter was threadsafe or something, and as far as guile goes, scheme is probably way over the average user's head. That said, this will still have to wait until at least after 1.4 is released, and possibly have to wait longer.
