i actually agree with your supervisor. i didn't code the share memory project that i mention in the previous reply. i am one of those that really trying hard to avoid any sort of system(), exec(), ``... etc in Perl code. i am trying to convince the other developers not to use those as well. i won't got in a debate of the pros and cons of using those. personally, i think they are not portable, unreliable and unsafe. david -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
