I need an external polling application that needs to feed data into a database. The database interface is web driven through php. The problem with php is that it cannot spawn itself to multiple threads - this is a requirement of my poller to reduce the poll time. Perl works perfectly for this, but I do not want to re-invent all database abstraction in perl. So is it practical, secure, the right thing to have the poller in perl posting XML data to a php web page which then feeds data into the database? Any other suggestions?
