Rev cgi vs. php

I have some CGIs in Rev for internal use (using Andre's HTTPD stuff)  
and the big win for me is the ability to have the code hit a debug  
statement and pop into the debugger. I can then see the actual data  
that triggered the event and figure out what didn't get handled, and  
mod the code. Then I can go to a browser, trigger it again, step  
through the code, and make sure it works properly.

What I would like is a two headed deployment. I'd like a  
mod_revolution apache module that runs stacks, and I'd like to have  
the ability to toggle the UI on and step through the code, on the  
server.

If we could do that, revolution would become our development language  
of choice. No other language that I know of is as easy to develop in.  
Too bad it is not a standard apache module.
