jeremy... hey.. how's yahoo!! anyway, i know you should be able to do this... do you have any examples of code or can you point me to an example that demonstrates how to do it...
i've been trying to accomplish this with perl for 2-3 days now with no luck.. so i know there must be something i'm missing!!! thanks.... i can provide you with the initial sample test code... it's only 15-20 lines of code for both the parent/child.. but i'm trying to get a feel for the process to see how this might work. thanks! -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Zawodny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 6:26 PM To: bruce Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: a question/issue...

Can you establish a connection in the parent, fork a child, and then let the child use it? Yes, you can do that. But you need to be careful. If the parent and child *both* try to use it, chaos will ensue. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
