Fair enough. I do have a proposal for you, though, which I think could be
useful and not difficult to implement.

What about making it possible for xmail to call a .dll when executing a
filter script?

It would then be possible to use products that are supported and stable
products for persistent "cgi" execution. For example, Activestate's PerlEx
product which is works with web servers.

PerlEx keeps not only the perl interpreter persistent in memory, it also
keeps a compiled version of the script in memory and so drastically
increases performance.

On a web server this is done by mapping an extension such as .cgi to the
PerlEx dll. Then when a user requests something.cgi the web server
executes it with the appropriate .dll. Very fast and would make filters
running on windows machines extremely low overhead for those willing to
pay for it.
