Re: Parallel::ForkManager install fails

Like the others, I advise you to stay away from Perl's fork emulation on Windows, too many surprises and general weirdness.

If you provide more detail on the specific problem you are trying to solve, we will be able to better advise you.

You might be interested in:

MCE by marioroy : Many-Core Engine for Perl providing parallel processing capabilities - can be configured to use processes or threads (via use_threads parameter), by default MCE spawns child processes on UNIX platforms and threads on Windows

Update: this reply by marioroy to the OP two weeks ago contains examples, including one using MCE::Child with Parallel::ForkManager similarities.

Or, use the cygwin version of perl on Windows, which does support fork.	[reply]

Or, use the cygwin version of perl on Windows, which does support fork I usually prefer separate code paths for Unix vs Windows code that manipulates processes. One example that springs to mind is Re: How to portably stop processes? (Timing out Commands on Unix and Windows and Win32:: References), with links to sample code to create, time, and kill processes on Unix (via fork, exec, kill, waitpid) and Windows (via Win32::Job). Unfortunately, we have no information on the OP's environment and the specific problem/s that need to be solved (and why the OP feels that Parallel::ForkManager is the best way to solve them) ... and, sadly, it's looking increasingly likely that we won't hear from the OP again in this thread. 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]
