I have two PERL SCRIPT that stress CPU and MEMORY. I want to run them in parallel on hosts so I am trying to copy them on all the hosts and run them in parallel. I am utilizing a module Net::OpenSSH::Parallel to copy (which is working) and run the commands on all the nodes. I am not able to run these two SCRIPTS in parallel. I have tried to take the SCRIPT to background but only one of them runs. Could you guide where am I going wrong?

CPU SCRIPT
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @cpu_cores = qw(4);
while (--$cpu_cores[0] and fork) {};
while () {};

MEMORY SCRIPT
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "$$";
fork for 1 .. 4;
for (1 .. 10000) {
my $a = "xxxxx" x int rand 10_000_000;
my $b = ~$a;
my $c = reverse $b;

MAIN SCRIPT

use warnings;
use Net::OpenSSH::Parallel;

chomp($ip_address);

my @hosts;
while(my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref())

my($nodename, $hadoopname) = $ref->{'name'} =~ m/(\w+).(\w+)/;
push(@hosts, "$nodename");
