Didn't mean to take this off list if I had. Heh. > I'm using Perl 5.6 Unless someone with better knowledge pipes up, to the best of my knoweledge there are threading/concurrancy issues with mod_perl 2 and 5.6.1 ... I know that Randy has said in places that eventually the officiall recomdendation for Win32 Apache/mod_perl 2 will be 5.8 because it's theoretically more thread safe.
I've never used either 5.8 (Activestate hasn't moved to it yet) nor mod_perl 2 (isn't finished yet, and I have a hard enough time supporting mod_perl 1) so all of this is based off hersay and rumor. -Chris > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 1:21 PM > Subject: Re: Filehandles > > >> > Thanks for responding so quickly. >> > >> > flock does work under Windows 2000 and above. >> > >> > The load tester that I'm using works fine with my script outside of >> > mod_perl.
