PERL Q.... (concurrency)

Andy Knipp

I have some triggers running when a file is copied to so some funky stuff.

Things are getting really funky, and not in a good way.

One time I noticed this not so good behavior (during my test) another user was also running the same script. So I am thinking that my perl is not capable of having serveral copies at once.

1st obvious place is the log file. I am sick of having wf_dd_12345.log so I have been using this:

open (LOG, ">$iwhome/tmp/Save_cp_deploy.log")

(with no error checking) So I can easily see that this puppy will croak.

So that is problem 1, are there things in perl that are global ? If I am passing info via ENV variables, that may be a problem.

thoughts, ?
