Hello exilepanda,

If you do it the way I described, the %ENV variables are already set-up for you. Do not touch the %ENV, but copy the %ENV to a temp hash. And remember you still need the GET / POST data ( the actual $Todo work ) from the WebServer. ( Example ).

my $Todo = ...; # Data sent via GET or POST from browser via We +bServer my $environment = ''; foreach my $env ( keys %ENV ) { $environment .= "$env\t$ENV{$env}\n"; } my $send = pack("N",length($environment) ) . $environment . pack( +"N",length($Todo) ) . $Todo; my $ret = send_data( $svr, \$send ); # Send to processing Perl s +cript
Now the second client has the environment of the WebSever, and it's own %ENV from Perl. The processing client uses %TempENV for WebServer info and it's own %ENV if it needs it.

It's clean and you don't have to get into the error handling of the WebServer.

Good Luck!

Regards...Ed
