Hi guys,
I'm thinking of having Apache+modperl (not much modperl used) start up
services when Apache starts up. I did a simple test with PerlRequire and
I notice that at startup, the script is run 3 times. But I can possibly
start the same service (or run 3 instances of the service as some of
them are command-line programs) 3 times. I tried to flock a file as a
control measure, but it seems that in Windows/ ActivePerl, flock() does
not really work. I also tried another dirty trick, which is to check for
presence of a dummy lock file. If the file is present, then skip the
service startup. Also did not work.
I am out of ideas. Any one did this before?
