I like to trot out the System2 module I wrote: http://search.cpan.org/~reichert/System2-0.84/System2.pm for some sorts of IPC work. But, I think that anything System2 can do, can can also be done by the cited modules above. By all means, avoid the shell, if you can help it. -- Brian Reichert <[email protected]> BSD admin/developer at large _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
