Be careful you don't waste resources by leaving transactions open forever!

You can use something like PersistentPerl to make sure the script doesn't
terminate, but to get the behavior you're looking for you could only have
one script open at a time.  You could also do master/worker scripts
communicating through sockets to keep the transaction open.
