Hi all !

I'm trying unsuccessfully to do with Perl what I do often with shell on various tastes of ...X (AIX, LinuX, ...), no need on Windows.

Sending several commands in parallell in background, then waiting for the end of all the processes.

It helps me a lot to reduce drastically execution time when managing numerous servers through ssh commands.

Example in shell : 

export PIDS=""
for P in $PARAMS
do
   some-command $P > /tmp/some-file.$P &
   PIDS="$PIDS $!"
done

wait $PIDS

... continue work ...

I think it should be much better with Perl, but up to now I can't success

Any hint ?

Thanks to all of you
