I have data I need access to via WEB or filesystem. or more correctly with email. Since the data lives in Web server territory, my Apache/mod_perl configuration files know where everything is - What I think I would like to do, is when the mail process starts up, I'd like to reach inside of apache and pull configuration data right out from the active server. Is this possible? I know I can dump config data from between <PERL></PERL> blocks, but I believe that is static at startup. I'd like to take advantage of the Active servers memory cache if I could - some how access the same memory pool - check whos on-line and such. I'm I going places I should? If not could someone point me in the right direction? TIA, Cliff
