Now If you do not want to play the probability game, or are using a system with a more reasonable caching system that Linux's then you are much better off by using memcached, i.e. a daemon. Btw, accessing a file residing inside a daemon is done via sockets ! _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
