Right now it's just a script that runs once per request.  It was designed
from the beginning to run as a daemon, but perl is not yet up to the task.

OG> sorry for my lack of jargon knowledge, but what is TLB?

The delivery engine I wrote.  Look in the archives.

No DBM files there.  The only thing that makes sense is multiple solutions.

OG> Threads should come with perl 5.005, Malcolm Beatie told me the other

Threads will have an off-the-top 30% performance hit.  Try reading the
perl5-porters mailing list sometime.

I don't think I want to require perl 5.005 in any case.
