Richard, thanks for your suggestions. The problem is not so much in the code (I know the code above isn`t the 'best' way) but in the fact I seem to get the same $dbh across children. I`m just curious if that is to be expected: okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8269a7c) (85799) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8269a7c) (85800) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8269a7c) (85801) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8269a7c) (85802) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8269a7c) (85803) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8261424) (85799) okdbh: Apache::DBI::db=HASH(0x8261424) (85800) (Each line is a reload with the code after your suggestions) Thanks, Harmen -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (37% of Full)
