Re: [Zope] Perl Scripting in Zope

[Mike Kelland]

I've got about 3/4 of my application built in Zope (entirely in dtml I'm afraid to say) but I'm reaching a point where it's difficult to continue with only DTML (things like complicated database structures and validation of input fields) and since I don't quite know python yet (currently teaching myself) and I'm adept at Perl, I'd like to incorporate Perl Scripts into my app.  I got the pyperl-1.0.beta.tar.gz and zoperl-1.0.beta.tar.gz modules from ActiveState but I really have no idea if they're Win32 compatible (or only on Linux/Unix etc) and if they are, how to install them.  I'm reluctant now to switch to a standalone Perl solution now that I've invested so much time into the Zope one.    Thanks for your help!
