So, nobody's worked with Zope? I'm just a bit worried about having to 
slam pages back and forth everytime there's a bit of info that the 
server needs to know. Stand-alones are much better for standard data 
management tasks, but the free formatting of text/reports in Web pages 
is much better than stand-alones. Aw shucks, maybe I shouldn't worry and 
just go with Web. Sourceforge uses PHP, but they've also ran articles 
pro-Postgres, saying it beats mySQL in some critical areas. Is PHP, 
Zope, JSP etc. the death of Perl?
