Forum OpenACS Q&A: Major breakthrough: aolserver calls perl script while running OpenACS

Just now, I got an aolserver (which is also running OpenACS) to run a small inconsequential perl-5.6.0 script in response to a browser's request for /perl/hi.

The next step is to implement some of the Ns_Conn functionality and have perl send a web page through an aolserver-browser connection.

If there is any interest shown, I will make the work available.

After doing some of the Ns_Conn stuff, I plan to complete a very efficient and C-like API, exposing it to the perl interpreter.

Once this is done, I will then look into making it more perl-friendly.
