Well, MOD_PERL and DBI.pm are part of the equation. So is NetWare,
which is still the undisputed champion of file and print servers.

Do you know if BOA has been ported to NetWare? If not, then it's
simply not an option for me as one of my requirements is cross-platform
support. Apache is extremely flexible, and so it has been difficult for me
to justify anything else, but I am certainly open to looking at other
options for handling some aspects of this project.
Apache 2 also has options to load entire directories of files into RAM
for faster access. Although I haven't tested this yet, the concept seems
very good and I will probably use it for all the long-term static content
in my future projects.
