me again ;) i don't even know if this is going to be possible, but i'll ask anyway. my perl program runs as a constant process in the background. is there anyway i can make another program/script send a HUP, or any kind of, signal to the process, to say, force a re-read of a database or something, to get it to act on data sent by a user from a website or something. i don't want to go to the trouble of trying to build a webserver into the program as well, if i can simply send a signal to the program, then get the website to enter data into a specific part of a database, then send a signal to the process id to get it to (re)read that portion of the database.
