Hi, Celso. This isn't a job for POE.
Use File::AtomicWrite, or something like it, to safely write the time stamp as frequently as necessary. It's a trivial amount of data, so you probably don't need it written asynchronously. Reload the time stamp when the program restarts. -- Rocco Caputo <rcap...@pobox.com> On Feb 13, 2014, at 13:21, Celso Barriga <cbarr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, it's me again :) > > I have a POE-based application that queries a web app for some data filtered > on some time range, say, "send me any changes from time x to now". > > The application will be running 24/7, and will query for more changes since > the last time it asked for changes.
