in reply to Question about communicating with a running perl script

Personally, I like the idea of using the website to update a control table in the database, which the perl script consults to determine its behavior.

    Thanks for your reply!

    So you reckon dedicating a table in the DB where sending "status" values or something and getting the background script to continue polling it?

    What's a realistic polling frequency?

      That's a question only the users of the website can answer, I would think. How often is the website refreshing? How long does it take the perl program to run thru the list of tasks?
