One simple thing u can do is to have a dedicated thread handle the sockets and have the other threads communicate with it via a message queue. This way u never have to worry about thread collisions on the socket. Any old thread that wants to talk just writes into that queue and the socket thread checks it on a regular basis to see if anything needs to be sent. U can even have it write back to the calling thread any return/status information about the socket send. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
