So help me out here ... Are you saying that I should not ask the same question in more than one place? Or can I ask the question in multiple places, with the WARNING "I asked this question yesterday at abc@xyz" ... ??? re:merlyn

I'm still young (in Perl years) So please bare with me. Assuming that I only ask a particular question in one place at a time ... What's an appropriate time to wait for an answer before asking the question elsewhere?

I still don't get this. This only makes sense if all the people capable of answering my question monitor both locations and someone happens to forget that they already answered the question in the other forum. Why have two (these are the only two forums I'm familiar with, I'm sure there are more) forums if this is the (unwritten) rule?

But, I feel that I am wasting your valuable time with my confusion (not obstinance :-)

Because of your obvious online experience, I will follow your guidance in this case. Look, I don't want to be blacklisted or anything!

Yes I am "studying" merlyn's http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col16.html paper on "forking parallel link checker." It seems very complicated for a newbie. I'm hoping that there is a simplier answer to my original poorly worded question!

So far merlyn's is the only response. Has anyone used ParallelForkManager and made it work successfully with multiple downloads???

I better get back to it. Cover me, I'm going in ;-)

Your humble servant

P.S. Thanks for adding the code tags.
