Apache::VMonitor is great! (well, I wrote it :) Gregory, before you continue asking more questions... it's all the guide: http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Measuring_the_Memory_of_the_Process so before you ask, check the guide. Use the search if you don't know where to look. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
