Hello William, Thanks for the insight into the inner workings of mp2 on Win32. I'd like to read up more on the parent-child setup, and digging through perl.apache.org (mostly in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/) I don't seem to be able to get any information on mp2 on Win32.
Can you share your source of information on this issue? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William A.
