I have some code that essentailly runs a bash script sequentially, and was trying to multiprocess the managed children of the program. Aka, I use perl to run program x on y # of files. I use it as an orchestrator. When I try to run on multiple files, I get two running processes with the same filename, instead of two processes running on two different filenames. I am not sure on how to make my code multi-process aware, and need some help. Here is my code. 
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
use Parallel::ForkManager;
my $filename = 'all.txt';
my $failuresfilename="failed.tsv";
open (my $target, "<", $filename) or die "Cannot open < $filename: $!"
+;
open (my $failures, ">", $failuresfilename) or die "Cannot open > $fai
+luresfilename: $!";
sub readinFile {
  @lines = <$target>;
}
sub execute {
  $multiprocess = Parallel::ForkManager->new(2);
  TARGETS:
  foreach $processme (@lines) {
    $multiprocess->start and next TARGETS;
    
    chomp $processme;
    $command="cfn_nag_scan -o json --input-path $processme > $processm
+e_.cfnag.json";
    `$command`;
     $multiprocess->finish;
  }
}
sub findFailures {
  @files=`find ./ -iname "*cfnag*"`;
  $jqcommand='jq --raw-output \'.[] | select (.file_results.failure_co
+unt > 0) |[.filename, .file_results.failure_count] |@tsv\'';
  foreach (@files) {
    chomp;
    s/\/\//\//g;
    @a=`cat $_ |$jqcommand`;
    print $failures @a;
  }
}
readinFile();
execute();
#findFailures();
close $failures;
close $failuresfilename;

The subroutine in question is 'execute'. Any help would be appreciated. My input is a bunch of filenames that come from the 'find' command (in this case things I want to scan with cfn_nag). The system sub-executes cfn_nag_scan from the filenames array, which in turn system's the cfn_nag which outputs a bunch of 'scan' result files. Perl is more of a dispatcher than a processor of data.
