That's somewhat along the lines that I'm thinking. It would have to be
Perl-core. I was also thinking from the standpoint of command-line stuff as
well (there are any number of ways to launch perl that aren't relative to cgi).
As far as the Java Model, I plan on taking a look at it over the weekend,
and see what sorts of things can be utilized in Perl. Most of that stuff would
be 'Safe' related, though (I think), and probably wouldn't need to be in the
core. As soon as I have a chance, I'll review these emails and try to post some
ideas.
