I've looked at the code, and it doesn't get called until the first hit. BTW, one thing I love about python (and mod_python) is that the source is incredibly easy to browse and understand (compare perl internals). That said, I'm going to go swimming in perl/mod_perl for a bit to see how they do it. Failing that, maybe I'll hit up the mod_perl mailing list for help. thanks, -jackdied -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Get 4 DVDs for $.49 cents! plus shipping & processing.
