Re^2: Running perl scripts in parallel

I have tried this but it still won't let me continue my original script i.e. in pseudo code:

 
script1.pl
-------------------------
call listener script2.pl #runs forever and outputs stuff
call listener script3.pl #runs forever and outputs stuff
die "Done script 1";

I tried your method butb script1.pl still wouldn't die. It is stuck at calling the listeners Thanks

Are you sure? If I'm understanding your comment, the only scenario where this should be true is if your fork is failing. What happens when you run this code: `use strict; use warnings; my $pid = fork(); die "Fork failed" if not defined $pid; if ($pid) { #parent print "Parent output\n"; } else { #child exec q\|perl -e 'sleep(1); print "Child output\n"'\|; } wait; print "Parent finishing\n";` [download] #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply] [d/l]
