Thanks Rob!

In this light, I will have to re-think things.  I REALLY don't want to
install X on my server.  I guess that I need to look closely at what
Tie::Watch will do for me, and if I really need it or not.  I am
basically using it for the Internet application framework called
Interchange.  IC runs fine without it, but uses it for some things that
I am a bit unsure of.  If I find that I do need it, I will start a new
thread if I have problems.

Thanks again!
Rick
