Re: Stream delimiting chars

I'm not quite sure... but this feels like what you want.

NAME
       IPC::Msg - SysV Msg IPC object class

SYNOPSIS
           use IPC::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE S_IRWXU);
           use IPC::Msg;

           $msg = new IPC::Msg(IPC_PRIVATE, S_IRWXU);

           $msg->snd(pack("l! a*",$msgtype,$msg));

           $msg->rcv($buf,256);

           $ds = $msg->stat;

           $msg->remove;

I'm actually using IPC::SysV to do the transport (some of the time). IPC::SysV can only move a certain amount of data per message (quite small, about 4k). I've wrapped IPC::SysV in a module that sends data through and rebuilds it... thus the need for spotting the end of the message. I was being coy about the transport because I'm also using TCP, and anything else that comes to hand... ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]
