It could be interesting to investigate the tantalising, but still = apparently obscure, POSH (poshmodule.sf.net) mechanism for sharing data = between processes in an apparently "thread-like" fashion. Sadly, I don't = have the time (or mandate) to look into that, but it could address the = various scalability and reliability complaints that have come up, at = least if it didn't disrupt the programming model employed by most = Webware applications too much. On a more mundane level, I should really send some patches in around = "classic" CGI environment variables, and possibly around URLs and paths, = although I imagine that Ian Bicking's work probably conflicts with the = latter somewhat.
