I need an external polling application that needs to feed data into a
database. The database interface is web driven through php. The problem
with php is that it cannot spawn itself to multiple threads - this is a
requirement of my poller to reduce the poll time. Perl works perfectly
for this, but I do not want to re-invent all database abstraction in
perl. So is it practical, secure, the right thing to have the poller in
perl posting XML data to a php web page which then feeds data into the
database? Any other suggestions?
Please copy my e-mail too.
