Not sure if this is a big help to you, but you can use the return code of the child processes to communicate with the parent process. I did that in this case: `$pm->run_on_finish( sub { my ($pid, $exit_code, $ident) = @_; $connected_server_count += $exit_code; $progress = ($count / $total_server_count) * 100; printf "Progress: %4.1f\%\r",$progress; $count++; } );` [download] Example of a bad (0) return: `$pm->finish(0); # Couldn't connect to this one, skip to next server in + main loop` [download] Example of a good (1) return: `# Close ssh connection to this server $ssh->close(); $pm->finish(1);` [download] The point being that $count kept track of how many servers were processed ($connected_server_count is used elsewhere) but it based that count on the return code. In this code, a server returned 0 if it could not connect, but returned 1 if it could, so I just summed those values. I've not played around with it, but I assume you can map out any numeric code to suit your purposes, perhaps the number of days, etc.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

        $progress = ($count / $total_server_count) * 100;
        printf "Progress: %4.1f\%\r",$progress;
        $count++;
    }
);

$pm->finish(0); # Couldn't connect to this one, skip to next server in
+ main loop

    # Close ssh connection to this server
$ssh->close();
$pm->finish(1);
