I just want to give some short feedback. I like your code but I'd like to defer inclusion until the next release is out (If I can get my ass up I will do a release this weekend - but no promises) I'd like to discuss the locking mechanism as well. The .mlist file needs to be locked for a very short time while writing only. The lock doesn't need to survive multiple script runs, too. So I think it would be more efficient to use the locking mechanisms provided by the underling OS using the flock() call instead of creating lockfiles our self... Andi
