I am trying to get one of the examples from the official documentation working. I accept that putting code snippets together has problems, but I have tried lots of variants without success. The example is about 75% of the way through the document and starts with my $pool = AnyEvent::Fork. My current version of it is:

use strict;
use warnings;
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::Fork;
use feature 'say'; 

package Some;
# Some::function might look like this - all parameters passed before f
+ork
# and after will be passed, in order, after the communications socket.
sub funct{
    my ($fh, $str1, $str2, $fh1, $fh2, $str3) = @_;
    print scalar <$fh>; # prints "hi #1\n" and "hi #2\n" in any order
}

package main;

my $pool = AnyEvent::Fork
             ->new
             ->send_arg ("str1", "str2")
;

for (1..2) {
    $pool
        ->fork
        ->send_arg ("str3")
        ->run ("Some::funct", sub {
            say 'Inside anonysub';
         });
}

say 'Outside pool loop';
AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

Thjis goes into an infinite loop after printing the output below:

Outside pool loop
Inside anonysub
Inside anonysub
Goto undefined subroutine &Some::funct at /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1
+/AnyEvent/Fork/Serve.pm line 87.
Goto undefined subroutine &Some::funct at /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1
+/AnyEvent/Fork/Serve.pm line 87.

I'm not worried about the infinite loop - at least not yet - but the inability to find a fully qualified sub (what the docs say is required) puzzles me. Could someone please give me a pointer?

Regards,

John Davies
