I don't deal with IPC, so I can't give you an example off the top of my
head.  The perlfork manpage has a bunch of info though depending on what you
want to do, and there are probably a bunch of modules out there as well to
simplify the process.  I used one of those modules a long time ago when I
played around with IPC, but I forget the name.

"One benifit to running java though ... is that you can easily share
information between your threads"

Same with Perl.

agreed that OO isnt always better but the point that I was trying to make
was that I would rather build more structured code that is easier to
maintain / debug than to worry about the internal speed of a program ...
also wanted to point out that there are other aspects to the percieved speed
of a program like running servlets or in tomcat or whatever .... 

One benifit to running java though ... and maybe tomcat does this is that
you can easily share information between your threads ...  not sure how
tomcat deals with that ...

You mean the servlet container is always running, like Tomcat.

Bah, OO isn't always the best way.  I won't get into a Java vs. C vs. Perl
thing here, but you code in a style which is most suitable for the project
at hand and for the people doing the coding.
