Suresh, I am unsure of what you are trying to accomplish.
If your flat file contains a list of files that need to be ftp'd and if you wish to perform these ftp jobs in parallel, you can use the fork function to spawn as many subprocesses as you need ( on Unix anyway, I am not sure of fork's performance on Windows ). Do an internet search on 'Perl fork examples' and you will find some helpful code. The book "Programming Perl" is also a very good source for most Perl information. The best way for this forum to help you ( in my opinion ) is to try doing what you want and if you get stuck, send your code, a description of what you are attempting and what problems you are having. The more information, the better. Good luck, Bryan -----Original Message----- From: V.

The number of sessions has to be determined by a flat file dynamically created by the user. And any link which talk about writing efficient perl codes.
