There's been so many great plugins developed for Movable Type since that functionality was added. To keep track of them all, and to help me in answering questions on the forums, I put together a Plugin Directory (powered by MT, of course!) It actually uses some of the plugins that I hadn't tried out yet (Columnize and Key Values are most notable).
So if you've been looking for a solution but don't have PHP, some of these perl-based plugins may help you out.

OMG!! I love you! This is like getting a huge present under the tree on Christmas morning. Ive been cruising sites this morning and I am constantly saying.."Gee I wish I could do that.. gee how come I can't do that.. Man.. how do they do that?" You just answered some of those questions for me. You look marvelous in that Santa outfit.

Kristine,
I have looked at your plugin collection and like the work you have done. but…
I am missing a "recommend a plugin" form, since I think I know more plugins that should be mentioned (as I am using and liking them)
Nice if you want to be as complete as possible to let others do suggestions, don't you think?

Good idea Lawrence – I added a comments section that can be used to recommend plugins. I probably will still test out the plugins that people recommend, or at least go over the documentation so I understand how they work, so it may not be instanteously added, but I'd definitely like to make it as complete as possible because that seems like it would help people the most! Thanks!
