Is my Javascript loop calling my perl script too quickly?

bettineski

I've got a javascript loop that calls a perl script.

My perl script simply copies files from a temporary location to their permanent home.

If I'm just doing one file (so the loop only happens once), I have no problem with it.

But if I try to run the loop more then once, it only runs once.

I have a debug output and it shows that the script is only called once, yet in the javascript I have alerts setup to show that the script is indeed called twice.

I can't seem to think of any other answer except that the perl script, when called again by the second iteration through the loop, is essentially "In use" by the first one and therefore unavailable.

Am I wrong in thinking this?

Nevermind.

I'm doing a solution proposed in this thread:

Essentially, instead of calling the script with every array element, I pass in the array element to the script (in a comma separated value list).
