integration with mpe
• for access to MPE commands:
• system("callci mpe_command")
• `callci mpe_command`
• integration with Apache via mod_perl available from
http://www.bixby.org/mark/apacheix.html
• no direct access to TurboIMAGE yet; workarounds:
• run a traditional MPE program as a child process
• use IPC to talk to a custom application server
• no direct access to intrinsics yet
• a great opportunity for somebody to write the first
MPE-specific Perl extension library
