I guess my question would be why ? ...
Maybe I just don't see the possibilities here, but I am not sure what you'd accomplish by adding a bunch of queries to the quest system. If you want people to be able to remotely add and edit quests, just give them shell or FTP access.

LOL like hell I am gonna give anyone shell or ftp access to my box. Way too big of a security risk. Besides, using a web interface is cleaner and easier to use. Plus FTP is blocked on my work LAN so I would need something on Port 80

As far as doing it in C ... I certainly don't want to re-compile and restart my server everytime I make a change to a quest, and more importantly, I doubt FNW and the other devs care to rewrite the quest system again.

No no no, you missed my point. Just like the current Quest system is written in perl, make an additional system, selectable at startup, written in C. Quests will be stored in MySQL so they can easily be edited, added, deleted, etc via a web page. And as for the devs doing this, nay, I would never ask. They have to keep pushing the Emu 'forward' and let us serverops develop 'sideways.' I will tackle this project if there is enough interest, maybe even if there isnt
