i've used zope a little on some personal projects. nothing too complicated since at the time it didn't support perl and i didn't (and still don't) know enough python to really rip into its guts.

the learning curve is pretty steep but it's probably well worth it. in my job i find myself writing mini-content management systems quite often and always thinking about taking some time and writing a more general CM or application framework to save myself work down the road. with zope's support of perl i may not have to do that.

i'd still like to see better XML support, in particular, zope would be about perfect if it supported XSLT like cocoon or axkit.

anyway, i'm curious to hear from anyone who's used the perl functionality in zope as to how good it is. is it really full support or are there serious limitations?
