Dear Friends! I recently installed the Proc::Fork module from CPAN into a local directory for testing. I then copied and pasted the "Simple Example" from here http://search.cpan.org/~aristotle/Proc-Fork-0.61/lib/Proc/Fork.pm#Simple_example However, when I ran the program, I got an error saying, "Can't locate object method "writer" via package "IO::Pipe::End" at ./simple_fork.pl line 19." I cannot understand why this is happening. All I am trying to do is to run the example on how to spawn child processes. Is there a good tutorial, complete example that I can refer to, to learn how to write a program that spawns child processes to take care of a task and thereafter kills the child process? If this question is a repeat, I apologise! Many thanks to all!!
