What I mentioned is not CGI. It's also not executing "foreign" code--it
would set up to process only files under your control.

The original poster wanted a simple Template server, and Apache::Template
seemed to be a simple way of doing it. Simple for both server and client. Of
course, you could use PPerl or one of the ::Daemon modules, but it would be
both slower and marginally more complicated. Or you could set up a Web
Service using SOAP::Lite, and although cool, would probably be slower and
_much_ more complicated. :)

Looks interesting but perhaps stillborn--never updated since uploaded in
2001 with a failing linux test.  I highly doubt embedding TT2 into python
would end up being simpler.
