I would recommend either using & in the call to the Perl script, or inserting whatever you need into a database and having cron (Google: man 5 crontab) run the Perl script or *ANYTHING* that doesn't tie up your HTTP connection for 3 hours, and that relies on users not closing their browser, or PHP's ignore_user_abort function which didn't work right in some older versions in some weird cases or something like that... Basically, it just seems silly to me to risk the three-hour job not getting done if at all possible to avoid that. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
