in thread Forked off!

I am interested to see your module when you finish it. Can you let me know when it's done? Also, if I fork inside a block, does fork only dup-up code to the end of the block?

perl -le "s,,reverse killer,e,y,rifle,lycra,,print"

    Yes, I'll be sure to let you know (I'll be sure to let everyone know).

    And nope, fork duplicates the entire program. It's heavily optimised, so it doesn't copy to whole program immediately, but you efectively have two separate programs that can go their own separate ways.
