Oh yes, what's wrong with me forgetting those strict and warnings. thank you !

Oh it is the $i . great thanks much !! =D

I could not test it now. but on a side note, in this case, let's say the directories have 8 files and 2 directories, does it mean it assign 8 children for 8 files and 2 children for 2 subdirectories?

What if i have 11 files/subdirectories in the directory with only 10 forks, does the quickest child/process get the 11th ??
