I believe that's exactly what I'm talking about. Only if your DB doesn't notify you, and you have to poll it, then you need to do that in a separate thread for this to work. I'm going to stop talking about this now, as it's clear I can make the filehandle thing work for me if I need it to, regardless of what scheme the DBI implements. I was just trying to think about efficiency for my apps. Matt.
