mod_perlservice? what the heck?
Did everyone see this on perl.com today?
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/11/18/mod_perlservice.html
I just skimmed it quickly, but I can't understand why this is not just a
simple mod_perl module, or even what it solves that XML-RPC didn't. On
the face of it, writing a new embedded-Perl module for apache sounds
like a terrible idea, so I wonder if anyone knows what the story is
here.

Err that should be 'spotted' not 'stopped'. I think my brain is
shutting down early in preparation for tomorrow's feast. I'll quit
posting before I truly embarrass myself.

Oops I stopped a GPL right after I sent that. Instead of
being in COPYING or in main.c, it was in another file.

You need to know programming to use it. Perl, specifically.

So are existing standards like XML-RPC, with accompanying
implementations. And there are a handful of Flash libs for it, as well
as lots of tutorials for Flash developers not familiar with RPC.

It makes a lot of sense to me
Having spent time building lots of webapps with flash, and knowing many
people who still do so and come from art school backgrounds, their
system seems simple enough and tailored exactly for someone who doesn't
know programming
It seems to be an easily configurable and targeted (not limited)
system for completing an often needed task.
mod_perl would be more flexible, and php might make more sense, but
their syntax and instructions seem pretty much on key for the audience
that would use it

Another interesting thing is that it isn't specfically licensed under
any Open Source license. It just has a copyright for the author, all
rights reserved.
But I agree, this looks like re-inventing the wheel, road, and the
whole concept of movement simply because you had the time to spare!

Wow, that's not just reinventing the wheel, that's reinventing the
road too. Even if you can somehow convince yourself that the world
needs yet another RPC mechanism, I can't understand why that would
require a new Apache Perl module.
But, uh, there's a Flash client library. What the heck?
