Agreeing with Chris, *WEB*-based services aren't appropriate for everything - POS being an excellent example. So, I disagree with making REST the common integration point. I also don't want to use web-based APIs on, for example, handheld terminals collecting inventory information.

That's what REST (or webservices) are for. ISTM that you want to replace a perl api with an api written in a much more rigid language. I'm sure it will hurt developer performance (and perhaps developer enthusiasm).. -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
