Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like THAT! (Which would indeed be
appalling.) What I meant was that a typical through the web product
developed today would be a combination of PythonMethods and DTML... people
coming from the perl world could make their products using PerlMethods and
DTML. Expressions in DTML are still python, which shouldn't be *too* painful
for perl folks.
