Re^4: Graceful shutdowns and Parallel::ForkManager

I appreciate the heads' up that I was doing that incorrectly, and the reference to where to find how to do so properly. I have only just started to use that technique, and now, thanks to your assistance, will know better how to use it properly.

Of course, to achieve the same effect, you could also simply `use constant max_processes => 5;` [download] (or of course `MAX_PROCESSES => 5;`), which I personally find a more intuitive approach. Your mileage may, of course, vary. :-) If God had meant us to fly, he would never have given us the railroads. --Michael Flanders	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Appreciate the tip. Is that something that is available in 5.005.03? Update: Apparently it is-I just wanted to make sure since some of the code I work with resides on machines with perl 5.005.03.	[reply]
