Hi Hippo, You can assume it to a function happening at regular intervals like the below :

sub parsexml {

my $parser_obj = XML::LibXML->new();
my $doc;
my $xml_file = "filename.xml";
$doc = $parser_obj->parse_file($xml_file);
my ($xml_node) = $doc->findnodes($xpath);
}

parsexml();
sleep 30;
parsexml();
sleep 30;
.
.
.

The overall thing happening is , same file is accessed multiple times or parsed multiple times this way over a period of time. I am not sure, if the problems lies here or not. Please revert if more details are required. Thanks, Bala.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
