I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but you are clobbering your error logs and not acquiring locks on the files, nor do you have any provisions to prevent a race condition should 2 people be using your script at the exact same time. You may want to reconsider using it for anything other then testing. Then again, maybe you're using it on a very small scale and the probability of a race condition is so low as to not make it worth it. -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
