Thanks Jose, and Randal too :), very close indeed the only difference is I don't want the user to wait at all, just submit the form, they see the confirmation and close their browser and the fork() finished in its own sweet time on the server. I think the best thing might be to put the goods in a file and have another script process the file via cron evry so often, I just didn't want to have to involve 2 scripts to keep track of :) ------------------ A very shoddy way of doing it, but you could put what you want to do in another script, call system() and place it in the background so you original script doesn't wait for it to return. ..... system "perl script.pl any arguments &"; ..... I assume this would work, but am not 100% sure without trying it. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
