I meant Capture::Tiny, along the lines of

    ...
    my $session = get_session_id();
    my $cache   = get_cache_handle();
    $cache->set( $session, [ 0, "" ] );           # no data yet
    my $background = go_background( $session );
    ...
    if( not $background->alive ) {
        if( my $data  = $cache->get( $session ) ){
           return show_results( $data );
        }
    }
    ...



sub get_cache_handle {
  use Cache::FileCache;
  return Cache::FileCache->new
  ...
}

Hey Anonymous Monk, thanks for the reply!

Cool, thanks for the examples, much appreciated...
I just checked out the CPAN link you posted for that Module and I like that you can also just
include arbitrary code inside the capture() Function/Method and get STDERR/STDOUT and a
return code from whatever you put inside the capture function... Pretty cool, thanks!


Thanks Again for the Reply,
