Ah, then that isn't a problem then.
Perl can scale pretty well if you use mod_perl. Certainly better then PHP.
Ofcourse, nothing can beat the scalability of C if you re-create the
wheel. I've seen some excellent implementations of of mod_perl with a
"broker" written in C that is used on major websites.
But anyway, this list is for opensrs not our personal tastes. :-)
