How to have a sub process or a fork ?
buongiorno a tutti, [sorry, but I'm currently listening Le Nozze di Figaro !] I have a little question : ( I'm using mod_perl 1.23, scripts under Apache::Registry) I have a script updating a db from parm given by the client, and building a HTML page. The process of update is fast enough, but the building is a litlle too long, too many updates arriving. I cannot stopping the frequency of updates (human !), so my question ; Is it possible to have another process / script, allways running, which my script can talk ? (I do not want to use the crontab) Is a fork a good idea ? Is a handler necessary here ? (frighten me, I'm just a beginner here) thanks, kktos ps: thanks for your answers of my previous questions q:-D
