Sorry - the snippet was indeed incomplete without an explanation of external variables.

"$count" comes from the number of servers I was processing - Under test conditions, it would be well under 20, and I would do all work in less than 5 sub processes/threads (Only one thread, if $count was less than 5). Under "Normal" conditions, it was in the 200 range, resulting in 10 threads.

The %serverinfo was a HOH had other info besides IP - Server Name, and related info. I was laid off work on Tuesday 10/16, and no longer have access to the code I wrote, or I would gladly share it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
