More CGI Stuff

[Yennie at aol.com]

Which is very cool stuff! 

I just want to point out one difference that I'm trying to obtain, however: 
*multiple* long running processes with shared memory, and everything done 
with Metacard! =).

Since I want most of the work to happen in Metacard, its not as valuable if I 
can only maintain one Metacard process- then the server can only handle one 
connection at a time. And simply launching multiple copies of say, 
MetacardCarbon, works- but its a major memory hog. Thus I'm trying to work 
with scripts, rather than GUI processes. I can spawn 20 long running scripts 
and it barely requires more memory than 1!

Of course- PHP is still an option with multiple Metcard processes doing the 
work, its just one more language to throw into the mix.
