Thanks for the perldoc link, I've read it and will maybe hopefully understand its implications someday... About your code, I think I got it (not quite sure ^^'), but it's not really an anwser to my issue... I'm looking at a way to have the same logfile name for my script and module while I'm running them... And I'm afraid that as you had, if there's a 1 second delay, the two files would not have the same name...	[reply]
