Well, i did struggled the same as with open process to make it right :-)

Hummm, thanks for your comments...
that's why i said i should test a bit more
what i did few months ago even if i'm happy today about it.....

otherwise, what i see different in my case, is the ability to tune the perl
process accordingly to Rev behavior; also may be i got a lot of luck ?
Who knows :-)

Anyway, whenever i have a bit of time, i'll try to put together in a nice
stack all the tests i did with some explanation for the community....

Dar, could you share one of your script to show where things didn't work ?
Will be great.

Nice  to  talk  of this topic.
i've got quite few frustrating evenings on this topic :-)

Best regards, thierry
