Storable is another commonly used module for this purpose. And naturally I couldn't pass up this opportunity to mention POE, specifically POE::Filter::Reference, which is one of the few parts of POE that is standalone, aka you don't need a POE kernel running to use it. The interface is incredibly simple, and I have used it extensively. Of course since you are working with sockets, then POE would be great for that too ;-).... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
