[MacPerl] new CGI thread: MacPerl as WebSTAR plug-in?

[jar@hopf.dnai.com (yeah)]

I was at the Mactivity/Web conference in San Francisco
earlier this week, and StarNINE announced (among other
things) a plug-in architecture for the WebSTAR server.
While I can't say I completely understand this architecture,
it seems to me they're creating plug-in code modules
that allow CGI sorts of activity ... without relying on
AppleEvents to communicate.

That seems to be significant for a couple of reasons. First
off is that the 32k limit to AE messages would no longer
apply. Second, the speed increase could be massive.

Can anyone shed any more light on this? Most importantly,
can anyone predict whether a MacPERL-interpreter-plug-in
is feasible?

Comments and/or corrections are welcome.
