I'm copying different files on different locations, some are over internet (on windows shares) and sometimes the copy process takes some time or the connections fails.
Because of this lags I've got to do things in parallel. I have to copy after another process does its job so I have to have some kind of synchronisation.
I could also execute another .pl everytime but I don't think that that is very efficient.

I watched the number of threads and it doesn't grow more than 2, so it's ok. Probably it doesn't free the memory on exit&waitpid. Any ideas where exactly to report this as a bug? Directly to activestate's site or elsewhere?

Thanks for your replies,
andrei
