The Coolness Behind the Click

I just finished up the beginnings of a new webapp today.

The webapp uses Embperl running on Apache. The Embperl template also references a Javascript library for using XMLHTTP, which calls another page which references a Perl package that contacts a .NET web service. The .NET web service then uses remoting libraries to dynamically load or unload a DLL from a currently running Windows service!

Sadly, all the user sees is a link that reads either "Load" or "Unload", masking all of the coolness.

If only I could put some nifty animated effects in there to demonstrate visually how neat what's happening behind the scenes is...

Regardless of what the user sees, that is some cool stuff you have running. Nicely done. You are, in fact, da man!
