Well, the first question is this: Do you really need to run this as a forked process?

You must always remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

    Yes this is a test for a much larger script

      The best advice I can give you (other than giving you working code) is to do a search for socketpair. You will find lots of examples of how to get data back from a child process.

      Update: The latest version of Parallel::ForkManager has a mechanism that is based on files. I would use that only as a last resort. It appears to be horribly slow and adds many more potential failure points.

      Did you try reading the fine manual of Parallel::ForkManager ?
