Ok, so I'll try to be more precise. The problem is not the parsing, the problem is ditributing a file so as it can be accessible from different perl scripts. So, let's say, I have a file on one machine, on which my "distributing deamon" is running. Now there is a cgi perl script on another machine who wants to access that file (actually, there are more than one, and that's what I need some distributing code to do it). The file is a configuration file and the cgi script is a configuration interface, in this case, but we could also have some other deamons wanting to "actualize" their parameters by reading the file, or the object being distributed. So what I need is some code to read the file (not parse it, I don't care for that now) and distribute a "in-memory" object version OR directly the file, with appropriate locking so the many scripts/daemons/programs accessing it don't do bad things. Yeah, sorry for the undetailed question, and thanks for the kind answer (and the one which could be following), Yannick _____________________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter en "live" avec vos amis ?
