It is a flat file (request file) management program that runs in the background on my machine. It enables distributed activation of databases. ie. It picks up flat files from a central server, brings them to a local machine (where the program is running) and then activates another perl program that opens the file up, reads it and then uses the content to execute a database system held locally. The program also deals with the output files generated from the analytical database.

This program can run on many machines. And because of this it enables distributed computing.

The problem I have is that it occassionally gets stuck in one of the inner while loops (requiring a Ctrol-C from me). I'm not sure why. Anyway, the new approach I am outlining here is an attempt to make the program more robust.
