I am OOP challenge, and cannnot get my script to work. I am converting a single threaded operation into multi-threaded using Parallel::ForkManager. It SEEMED so simple.. Here is essentially how the the script used to work:
OLD VERSION 
if ($a) {
   foreach $a (@a) {
      print $a;
      discover ($a);
      }
   }

if ($b) {
   print $b:
   discover ($b);
   }

sub discover {
  ## do lots of repetitive stuff
}

So, now I have it doing:
NEW SPIFFY VERSION 
if ($a) {
   my $manager = new Parallel::Forkmanager( 10 );
   foreach $a (@a) {
   $manager->start and next;
   print $a;
   discover ($a);
   $manager->finish;
   }

if (b) {
   discover (b);

sub discover {
   do lots of repetitive stuff
}

So, obviously calling a function from within this manager construct must not be how to do it, because "she ain't workin'". I am not sure if I'm calling it from with an object, or a method, or what.. it makes it significantly harder to find something when you don't know what to call what you are looking for. Thank you in advance for any help.
