Sorry. The last one I worked with was -
- dependant upon some obscure layer on top of perl, no longer
maintained.
- used tricks to avoid typing clean code.
- written by people no longer around when I tried to make it
work.
- broken by updates to both the system, perl, various CPAN
modules and
relied on the web server being Netscape Enterprise.
- Dedicated to IRIX systems.
I could really rant about this, but I'll just let it go.
