Re: $PID/$$ capped at 32767?

What OS/$^O are you running? In mine (Linux), PID can never grow over 32767, it rotates back to 1 (300 in fact).

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

So, I just realized that I can lower the 'kernel.max_pid' value to 32768, which would solve my problem. However, just for the sake of completeness, I would like to know if there is any configuration that I can change on Perl to increase the max PID value capacity.	[reply]

I would like to know if there is any configuration that I can change on Perl to increase the max PID value capacity I don't have an answer to that question, but perhaps you'll get to see the larger values by calling POSIX::getpid instead of $$. (This would require, of course, that the POSIX module be loaded.) Or there might be some other module that would return the larger values. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Perl Version is: revision 5 version 16 subversion 3 OS is: CentOS 7.3.1611 (Kernel 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64) By issuing "top" command, I can see PIDs up to 62k+	[reply]

Are you using a 32 or 64 bit perl? ( `perl -v` ) holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply] [d/l]
