When I started working at CentralNic, I found it was little more than
a Perl script hanging off inetd.
I replaced it with an Apache-style preforked daemon (still written in
Perl) that cached database handles and the like, with the intent that
this was a proof of concept for a C++ version. As is typical, the Perl
worked well enough that it didn't get rewritten :)
