There's not trick for creating a pid file in Perl. You can say, my $pid = $$; open my $fd,'>', "/path/program.pid" or die $!; print $fd $pid; close $pid or die $!; at the begin of the script. And at the END block of the script you should delete the pid file when script was exiting: END { unlink "/path/program.pid" if $$ = $pid; } -- J.
