Dear All,

I have a situation where in i have to fork processs in an perl cgi script and i m not sure how to implement the same to reduce the response time as this is a web script. Basically i m from bioinformatics back ground . So my situtaion is as follows

1 ) i will get Multiple inputs to the main cgi script and the data is stored in an array

2) foreach of the elemnt in the array

2.1 Will parse the input

2.2 use system command to fetch command

2.2.1 the data is written in multiple files

2.3 use system command to run a third party tool for each files from above step

2.4 parse each results

2.5 run a third part tool from tthe above results

2.6 parse the result

3) Show the consolidate results

What i have to do is that for each element in the array (from step 1) they should run ll'ell and the the system command in step 2.3 should also run ll'elly.

How could i implement the same?
