Howdy jcwren,

Personally I think you are flat out nuts, the security concerns of having a variety of perlish folk making whoopee on one box makes my eyes squint. Me thinks you have been dipping into the sacrament wines agin.

However, if you choose to take this road to madness cut us in for any dns or backup mail services you think you might want/need/desire. I'd offer hosting the box but I have clients - the thought of a bunch of monks running willy nilly from inside my network is too scary for me to consider.

I think your biggest problem is going to be *what version of perl to run?*

Personally *if I were king* I would put mysql (or postgresql) on the box for administrative reasons, I use a combination of databases, shell scripts and web forms to maintain my httpd.conf and email forwarding (via /etc/virtualhosts). It would also give folks a database to work against.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
