I read the article ;) The article doesn't say that there is going to be a module that will do all this work for you. I just wanted to share the happy news that such a module is about to emerge. Most of the people don't care how things are implemented, they just want to know that the API they use is thread-safe, which is how it should be with chdir() and friends. Though you realize that that this wrapper will incur a certain overhead, which needs to be benchmarked. And if that overhead is of any significant value, we should provide a switch to turn if off for those who don't rely on chdir() and therefore can get a better performance. I'm talking mainly about the Registry family in this case, but I can see that this functionality could be provided on the mod_perl core level (PerlSafeCwd flag?). __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
