Right - that's a thing I like so much about PHP.  Web and database and .....
is so nicely integrated into PHP.

Hmm, yeah, suppose so.  I could live with a non existing CLI, since it
wouldn't be used anyway.

Uh?  Not in a database?  Hmm, that would be one of the things I'd have to
change.

Yes, I had a look at the rt src.  I understood pretty well how things are
done, but there are too many things that I don't know about perl to make a
perl rt a viable solution FOR ME.  It would require me to learn perl very
well and also to understand the complete source of rt.  That's too much
right now (no, I'm not whining, but if I am, I'm just whining about my
"incompetence").

Thanks,
