I've tried forks and it works but it doesnt exit the sub the same way as threads do.


The bot is built on Net::IRC

Averything is handle with public commands wiht on_public.

For example a stock exchange checker.

i do  .stock ericsson from irc.
Then the bot jumps to a sub and does a alot of prosessing for me and print output to irc. after that is done i just want the sub to die. But this sub just keep goin as another prossess, or they still stay in system like zombies if i kill them. (ps -x)
i've tried exit(0); return; and also join but nothing gets it goin as it does with threads.

I probably don't have enuff knowledge to see what the problem is either :(

All i want is a sub thats runs parallell to other subs and when the sub is done it should just dissapear. Been trying to fix this for 1 month now but no luck :/

The entire script are made around threads It's 14 371 rows of code in 19 files so rewriting it from scratch would suck hehe

Someone said that POE::WHEEL could handle it to but i'm not sure. i just want a easy replacement for threads, forks would be real nice if i just could exit the subs the same way as threads does.

Thank you for your time. Really appreciate it.
