Hi Monks, I am working on XP-pro. I know how to write a little server listening on a port... then I have another scripts can call the server for services. However, the nature of the server is actually listening to localhost only, so why bother to take a TCP trip? Besides I'll need lot of this kind of servers in later development. So I think this is not really effective and necessary. And I don't enjoy to copy and paste the standard declaration for server start up and init those parameters time to time.

But then... I don't know what direction I can expect or investigate to. but if I can make a wish, I hope there can be something can interface like this : 

 
 while ( 1 ) { 
  while ( @ARGV ) { # but how to give data to @ARGV when a script is r
+unning ?
   proc_somthing ( shift @ARGV ) ;
  } 
  sleep 1; 
}

What else is something like this in the command prompt type file.txt >> PRN1 Of coz I realize printer is kind of device... but if a script can make self like a device could also be an option for me. Any clues for me to start with? Thanks in advance.
