Hello, I've been looking around for a module that will set up a persistent connection to either a AF_UNIX socket or a fifo. I think I can get away with using either technique because I understand that writes on these devices are atomic if the data is less than some small number of K. (where K = 4?) I'd be happy to write them myself (yes, I wish I would think of something useful so I could be on CPAN) but I don't want to reinvent the toaster oven. I'd probably use Apache::DBI as a model. Thank you for reading this. Does anybody have any input that might give me a reason why this shouldn't be done, can't be done? Perhaps it has already been done? -Josh "Don't have me because I'm AOL" Narins
