COPE works fine with omniORB.  From a Perl programmer's perspective, you see the
Corba plumbing which looks "raw".

While it isn't an OMG standard, COPE specifies a Perl binding for Corba.

Is there a reason omniORB developers are choosing to do a Python binding instead
of Perl? There's a heck of a lot more going on in Perl (more users, more
published books, more integration w/Apache, ...)
