in thread Perl/Cgi : how to delete file after leaving original myscript.cgi?

mmm , to generate the hash data takes 5 seconds. If I included in the original, it would take longer each time the user makes a choice and have to reevaluate the script again.

    In that case, you will have to:
    • find a way to speed-up the generation of the hash; or
    • go for the "cron job" approach; or
    • do something totally different (but it is difficult to help you here as we have no idea what exactly you are trying to do -- could you post some code or perhaps a link to the web-site where the script is running?)
