No too dificult. Do you want to use Perl threads or forks? See THREAD SIGNALLING for the former; Signals in perlipc and kill for the latter. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]

I don't use threading very often, so probably not the right person to ask. As well as the links given above, this tutorial might be helpful. Best of luck!	[reply]
