It looks like this is going to work out.

Hans helped me with the mysql database access, and the sha2 library in 
luametatex means I can actually check user passwords. Finally, homebrew allows 
me to have a local site to play with on my macbook (not having to do everything 
remotely is a much more convenient way to work).

Now I ‘just’ need to write a bunch of lua code to replace the 12k lines of perl 
code. 

If nothing else, this should make for a fun talk at the next meeting.

Best wishes and enjoy the holiday season,
Taco
