I don't think this script running as a daemon will take too much resource. help with daemons: http://webreference.com/perl/tutorial/9/ http://search.cpan.org/author/JWIED/Net-Daemon-0.37/lib/Net/Daemon.pm http://search.cpan.org/author/RHANDOM/Net-Server-0.84/lib/Net/Server.pm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
