I agree with Stas -- it would be easier to use something like a dbm. MLDB::Sync works well for this stuff. When I've had to do this in the past, I've typically just used last modtime check on some file as a form of notification, and have children update their data as necessary. This has the advantage of being easy, but the disadvantage that the data is no longer shared. I don't think you can reall solve that without HUP-ing the server, but if you find a way I'll be eager to hear about it. - Perrin -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
