in thread Threads and MySQL

If your tasks are using MySQL, why use a shared file (with all the inherent problems of locking etc.) to share data between them?

FWIW: The problem with using DBI threads is a design flaw in DBI, not a problem with your code.

    Two days ago I had a reason to not use the DB for storing that info - now I can't remember what it was, so... ;)

    Thanks for the help guys, the code is running fine with the fork/exec setup.
