Wolf, if you're running Debian then you're familiar with the "alternatives"
stuff? I personally hate it but that's because I work on Red Hat production
servers that should not have alternatives. However, I'm all for a "Wild
West" sort of place for my developers to really do whatever they want. As I
understand it the alternatives thing lets you have multiple versions of
core software on the box at the same time. As you might guess, my skills
with it amount to removal. However, in your situation it might prove an
advantage.

So then the question becomes Squid or virtual hosting in Apache. Can you
set redirects up to 'perl.example.com', 'cherrypy.example.com', and '
cakephp.example.com' on the same box and let the developers vote by their
effort. That would even possibly let you use the same datastore backend.

p.s. There's a fine line between 'creative genius' and 'deviant bugger'.
Not sure where the line is and how often I've crossed it.  :)
