Mike,

You know better than that. Its not rdbms vs oodbms - JNDI can use rdbms 
for the backend. It is that perl/php doesn't have a *standard* interface 
that middleware can implement and developers can use for object 
interchange. Perl's "POE" is something that is similar to JNDI. PHP 
doens't have anything like it.
