We have Java appservers, we have Python appservers, we have .Net, we have transaction monitors.
Q: But do we want that we do not have?
A: A Perl appserver!
It would be an environment for distributed Perl applications. It would be named "Perl Harbor"; deployed Perl components would be called "Pearls"; the middleware that does stuff under water would be "submarines". An application consisting of multiple "Pearls" would of course be a "Necklace", and the containers in which the "Pearls" live "Oysters".
We would be able to develop cross-platform multi-tiered applications in our favourite programming language. There would be no need for a lenghty compile/link/package cycle.
Any volunteers?
