I sometimes wonder what the ultimate culmination of all of these seemingly disparate open source technologies. While that remains to be seen, here is yet another instance of two (actually three) popular open source technologies coming together.
'pyperl' is an extension module that bridges the gap between Perl and Python. It allows Python code to invoke Perl code and operate directly on Perl data and permits Perl code to do the same to Python code and data. This provides for almost seamless integration between the languages and thereby greatly expands the library of modules available to each of the languages.
ActiveState and Digital initially developed the pyperl extension Creations as the foundation for supporting Perl in the Zope application server.

I certainly haven't researched these (PyPerl, Zoperl) very much, but they have at least made my open source mental watchlist.
