( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hmm, i tried experimenting with pipes before i posted but couldn't get them to work... Just tried again, copying your example, and *tada*, works! Finally figured out that in my first attempt i had the reader/writer mixed up in the initial pipe... *slaps self*

Future readers, the end result:

my( %pid ); pipe( CHILD, PARENT ); # not PARENT, CHILD! foreach my $num ( "01" .. "25" ) { # if max processes, wait for one to finish if( keys( %pid ) >= 10 ) { &reap() } if( my $pid = fork() ) # parent { $pid{$pid} = $num; } else # child { &child( $num ); exit 0; } } # reap remaining processes while( %pid ) { &reap() } # read child messages close( PARENT ); while( my $child = <CHILD> ) { print "> " . $child; } close( CHILD ); exit 0; sub reap { my( $pid ) = wait(); if( $pid == -1 ) { die( "no more kids to reap!\n" ) } if(! $pid{$pid} ) { die( "why did I see $pid?\n" ) } delete( $pid{$pid} ); } sub child { my( $num ) = $_[0]; close( CHILD ); print "child $num spawned\n"; print PARENT "child $num says hi\n"; }

my JAPH: print"Just another Perl hacker\n"; # ^ look, no space! pretty tricky huh?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
