That's the easier way. You can have apache and postgres on separate servers, though. > Is there a no-cost IDE for Perl?

You can use apache compiled with mod_ssl if you want all of the data between your browsers and the application encrypted. That way, no passwords pass in clear text. That's probably overkill if you are already behind a firewall. Alternatively, use ipchains to block port 80 from the public network, or whichever port you choose to run sql-ledger on. Good luck.
