This means that I can finally get the prototype of my credit-card CGI in place. I didn't manage to secure database access for it, but I'm trying to convince others that it would be a good thing. I'm kind of paranoid about keeping this stuff in text files -- I'd really like to use postgres, but I don't even think they have that here -- but if it's how it has to be done, it's how it has to be done.
