If the file doesn't change, read it into a global in the parent process before forking. Then you'll have it for use in the children. > For Ryan, i already see IPC::Shareable before using it i was investigating > some other option, but i think i'l use it :) Be careful, IPC::Shareable is pretty slow, especially for large chunks of data. In most cases, an RDBMS or a dbm file ends up being faster. - Perrin
