If I read what you wrote right the project lead was afraid of the possible information leakage. I do not see anything being afraid it will not work or something. So if you made sure the LAMP status will not be visible and you and your clients will not talk about it I don't see a problem.

Actualy ... the project I spend most of my time with is supposed to use their technology as well. And well ... it seems it is, the marketing pages about the project say it is ... and it is not. The pages are ASP, but the services ... ;-)

I tried to do as much as possible in VB and VBScript just like I was supposed to (don't ask me why did I take the job!), but some things would take ages to implement in VB. So with the help of ActiveState's PDK I implemented the feature in Perl and use it from the ASPs as a COM object. Later on I added some services completely in Perl, most of the VB code is generated by a Perl script, ...

Am I feeling bad about that? Of course not! I implemented more in less time and everything works just great. I'm just not supposed to talk about it ;-)
