Why not support a file upload for the image and do your processing as it arrives. No polling would be necessary and it would happen as fast as possible.In addition, you can control what they upload by name/extension and size. I know php supports it, and I imagine it's also possible with a perl module. hth charles _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
