For the falling (but still surprisingly large) number of people who  
want to do things like this by putting CGI programs on their web site  
then, yes, nms is still the best approach that I know of.

The nms code _has_ been updated in living memory. But you'd need to  
have lived a fairly long time or have a _really_ good memory.

It's stable (but not in the biologist sense) so nothing has been  
changed for ages.

Well obviously we should really be pushing them towards something  
implemented in Dancer and PSGI. But I suspect that would lose us about  
90% of the target audience :)

Cheers,
