Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
From inside my perl script I want to invoke an external program using
system("blah");
is there a way to get the PID of the invoked process without resorting to `ps -ef` and then parsing this?
Thanks in advance.
