Just one, very minor "improvement", of the above might be: die "Cannot initialize $path_fifl: $!" unless unlink $path_fifo and mkfifo($path_info,0600); Granted, this is a nit, but if in a loop which executes a million times, it could add up. I guess that I've been on "CPU constrained" systems for so long that every millisecond is now precious <grin>. -- Maranatha!
