I am not a LedgerSMB developer (but probably will contribut one day when
my new born no longer needs diapers), but boy Perl and PHP architecture
change seems like a very daunting task!?

We have no intention to move to PHP.

You know, Perl can call PHP and vice versa and remotely and securely too
and we do that on a daily bases to extract sales/new customers data from
OSCommerce (PHP) to SL (PERL). We are now working on mapping the two
database schemas so the online ordering system can do real time inventory
check against the main database (SL) and the two servers are located on
the opposite coasts.

In 1.3, there will be a basic RESTful web interface which should make
this far easier.

Best Wishes,
