Ahh... but with an automagically daemonized spamassassin, you get all the benefits of the private config files and bayes db without hackery in spamd to change owner, read configs, etc. M> spamc/spamd in speed, and nor does PersistentPerl. And how could they? The M> fork () call is hard to beat. :) Besides, there are quite a few pitfalls Ummm... I fail to see how persistentperl in this manner would be different than spamd+spamc. You still fork/exec spamc and it talks to spamd and gets an answer. With persistentperl, a tiny front end is fork/exec'd and comunicates to the existing (or newly created) backend which remains persistent. The only thing you lose is pre-forking of additional server processes, but at much greater simplicity for the average joe... and the only thing you change is the #! line in the main program.

Like the way global variables M> retain their value on startup, which can yield quite unexpected results. Globals? Who uses globals? Everything should be encapsulated in an object anyway, or can be made into lexically scoped "my" variables. This solves the "problem" handily. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
