Somehow I managed to avoid taking a LISP class in college. But reading
Paul Graham's book has piqued my
interest in using LISP for cgi stuff.

So, I need replacements for PERL regular expressions, cgi.pm and a way
to talk to MySql/POSTGRES.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

http://www.weitz.de/cl-ppcre for the first

http://www.cliki.net/lisp-cgi-utils is a good starting point for the second

http://clsql.b9.com for the third

[Google is your friend. ;-)]

You may want to take a look at Peter Seibel's book "Practical Common
