Well, if I combine all the sentiments, it seems that maybe a more
Perl-like wrapper/module could be in order. I doubt I will have the
time to look at it seriously for a little while yet, but I might venture
into it here before too long. It seems there might actually be some
interest in that sort of thing, myself included. And I *was* wanting it
initially for ActiveState in the immediate, even though I tend to prefer
Linux. I'd *really* like to play with this XML DB some... The object
persistence this could bring to some stateless apps would be fun to play
with over and above sessions (CGI::Sessions, etc.).

I'll download the Linux source and follow the lead I was given and see
where that takes me. Should have thought to do that (check out the
Linux source) already.

Thanks all,
Chris
