Have you considered finding a Windows 2000 box to put IIS and ActivePerl
on so you can get into the guts of it and test things? If you were trying
to reinvent a car would you ignore a working example car? Having
something that does what you're trying to do that you can get into the
guts of and examine and break and compare to has always been a much less
painful path to realization than the best written spec I've ever seen. It
wasn't /that/ long ago in net terms that the concept of the code being the
spec was popular.
Using ActivePerl's PerlExe it wouldn't be terribly hard to strip down the
standard client into a command line tool that would run across a variety
of Windows versions. We have had very good experience with PerlExe and
stripping down the client to put the innards into something else, but I
have no interest in running OpenSRS on Windows, so I've never done the two
together.
