 Here is a pre-announcement...

 AsiaInfo will soon be releasing an open source Tcl
 plugin for the netscape and apache servers.

 It is called KAP -- the Kinetic Application Processor.  We
 have been using it as part of our support infrastructure
 for Chinanet, the commercial internet backbone in China.

 It basically give you a <tcl> tag, so that you can
 intermix HTML and Tcl:

     <html>
     <h1>Hello World</h1>
     <tcl> puts "hello world!" </tcl>
     </html>

 It keeps a pool of persistent processes (we call them
 "logic engines" so there is no extra extra overhead
 for starting processes, database connections can
 be pooled and kept open, etc....

 The first version we did was for the netscape web
 server, and I have got it pretty much working with
 apache -- I'm currently adding code to place a max limit
 on the number of logic engines which are running,
 and sharing a connection pool.

 We hope to have this announcement ready in a couple
 of weeks, and have the code out soon after that.
 If anyone is interested, drop me a line at
 markh@usai.asiainfo.com or markh@markharrison.net
 and I'll put you on the prerelease list.

 Mark.

 PS, this is the first post from our reconstructed
 mail server, I hope it makes it out the door.  If
 you hear a story on the news "Enraged Programmer
 Throws Sysadmin Out Window" you will know that (once
 again) somebody forgot that this machine was acting
 as a news server before they reinstalled the OS. :-/
