Despite all this -- my assumption is the fact that these calls are done ONCE and RARELY, upon upload, new links, etc.
It is not for a "real time" system.
If it were, the programs would _HAVE_ to be in C/C++ and run with mod_perl compatibitly, more likely on their _OWN_ machine.
Again, if I was going to set up a dedicated system, it's one thing.
Since I'm building a plugin for Links SQL, that needs to run on many different systems, that may or may not have the ability to run or compile programs like Image Magick it's sort of digressing to enter that area.
Since only "calls" are made, if someone wanted to run image magick with this program, it would mean editing one set of routines, one "file" (the Process.pm" file).
It would be up to them to pass the correct values into the routines, and return the correct values to the main program.
The point is _NONE_ of these solutions is a real-time solution for a busy site.
