Hello, I am trying to increase the performance in an application, and was wondering if anyone knows which would give me the bigger bang (faster that is) of "opening a flat file for data" as opposed to "tying a DBM" and grabbing a value from that hash? I am on NT, don't know if that matters. Just want to grab some small state data for a web project, and have been using a text file to hold session_id info, but have been considering using a DBM to hold that data, and do-away with the text file, if I get a performance hit. Thanks and Happy Friday to All, Scott Purcell _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
