use perl next time - its only as hard to read and write as you make it.
all the functions you need to write a webmail app are already coded as modules and all you have to do is tie them together. the code from acmemail can probably be used to help one write a perl-based webmail application: http://www.astray.com/acmemail/
perl isn't as scary as some people make it out to be. and usually those people don't know perl, so they're talking through their arse.
