You'll probably get an error message along the lines of "Could not bind to socket 3306". You're probably better off using one of the ~65,000 sockets not already in use above 1024. --chargrill `s*lil; $=join'',sort split q; s;.;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$,$/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I just wrote an answer to this very question here. Please don't double post, it makes keeping track of discussions harder for everybody. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
