Re: Children aren't being reaped

OK. I had to install Parallel::ForkManager to run your script.

Do note, for reference, this is on a BSD box / 3cores @3.2Ghz & 128Mb ram
this is output from 4 passes of the script:

Immediately upon executing PASS_4, I received the following:

Bizarre copy of ARRAY in anonlist at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.
+12/mach/Data/Dumper.pm line 590.
[download]

I'm still examining the output. But felt it worth posting, for others who can't/won't run it, to examine.
