I'm quite sure it would be an easy write, but I just haven't done it
yet. I think once I convert my CGIs to handlers, it makes sense to do it
then. It would be interesting to see if anyone else is interested and
work out an API for the most commonly used methods. I work in a small
shop, so it would probably not be a big deal to get any resulting code
released to the world. Of course, then I have to learn how to create a
distributible package... :-)
