Hi Joe,

sure, you can start external programs, even perl scripts
from external methods in zope. But are you sure you
really want this? Mostly these applications are poor in
design and its better to reimplement them. Even more they
might be much simpler to reimplement then you first think.
Thus gaining better performance, better documentation and
easy further developement.

Just for curiosity, what does this particular CGI script
really do?

Regards
Tino
