Child processes/cache question

2007-09-10 Thread David Willams
Condition: I'm pre-load sharable data at apache start, but I also have
different data that is caching itself within child processes.
Goal: to pre-cache within each process, the data that cannot be cached
within the shared space.

Not sure if I'm asking this correctly, but is there a method by which child
processes may do their own start-up routine (i.e. pre-cache) at fork time
from the parent? Now, each process basically does this on first use.

Re: PDF creation tools

PDF::API2 is awesome.  I use it to create entire pdf documents as well as to
lay text over already existing pdf documents.
