I wrote a mini code for this problem which replicates my puzzle.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Parallel::ForkManager; my $pm = Parallel::ForkManager->new(10); foreach my $j (1..100) { LINKS: for my $i (1..10) { $pm->start and next LINKS; my $num = count($i); print $num,"\t"; $pm->finish; } print "\n"; $pm->wait_all_children; } sub count { my $num = shift; return $num + 1; }
I expected each row should generate ten numbers from 2 to 11. However, several rows will miss values. Even worse, several rows output 11 numbers instead of 10 numbers, and have replicate, for example, 10 appear twice. Why?
