That did the trick, thanks !! Only problem that still existed was the fact that I used the same $database for opening:
RRDs::update ($database, "$tijd:$hrProcessorLoad"); And the double substitution didn't work in this case... I simply introduced a $database_short for the single \ substitution and $database_long for the double \ substitution... Maybe that idea for a different (or configurable ?) separator char is an idea for a future version (Keeping us Windoze guys happy ;) ???
