in reply to Creating a hash within a fork

I just realized that since it is being forked, each process is independent so I am assuming the hash reference isn't being shared across all the processes. I am not sure how to get around that. Thanks again.

    Sharing a hash between threads is easy. Not fast; but easy.

    Alternatively, if you're scared of threads; consider looking MCE which provides a mechanism for appearing to share data between forks that is pretty transparent to the using code.

    I apologize, but MCE::Shared is not available on CPAN at this time. MCE::Shared supporting processes is coming soon. It will be released with MCE 1.7. But there is hope and will use MCE's gather capability in a subsequent post.
