If you're script is doing this :: Scirpt1 --> Hey script2 give the data on all of our widgets model 123 Script2 --> text/plain W123,CA,9 W123,IN,8 W123,NY,17 Script1 --> thanks now I'll parse that comma Seperated list and do what I want with it OR you could use SOAP::Lite. That is quite nice at two way communications. I'd checxk out the cpan page for it. > > With regards > Soumyadeep > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
