There is a Linux distribution called EnGard that includes three packages
that can be configured with a GYI. Apache, Postfix and All Commerce. All
Commerce is a e-commerce package, written in Perl and I understand it is
used by quite a few people.

I used to belong to the discussion group on All Commerce but have had other
things which I have had to attend and have not had time recently.

Check it out! It may be what you need.
