Hi everybody, I have a simple script that uses POP3Client to retrieve emails. It turns out that I can run this script only once, or more if all the subsequent requests are to the same script. That is say, my script's name is A, and I execute the same script 20 times subsequently there is no problem. But if I execute B after A, and then execute A again, then I have a problem and the problem is that there is a socket error. This happens only on Windows machines. I learnt that this is a common problem and that it is because of threads. Making number of threads on apache 1 solves the problem, but then a refresh is extremely slow, cause it seems KeepAlive makes the thread stop responding to the refresh until keep alive times out.
Ok, here is the real question. Should I move to 5.8 and if I should, what are the general issues that I have to be careful about. One more thing is that, can I run perl 5.8 with mod_perl 1.0? Is that possible, or do I also have to move to mod_perl 2 and apache 2? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
