Hi all, I tried to make use of the afork procedure with a DBI call but I don't know why it kept gives me this lost contact error at the end. What would you suggest? I kindly appreciate your input. Thank you ben 
--- test.pl ---
use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_session_modes);


my $tbs_name='T2010';

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Oracle:","","",{ora_session_mode => ORA_SY
+SDBA,RaiseError=>1,AutoCommit=>1,PrintError=>1});

my $sql = sprintf qq{SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_OWNER,TABLE_NAME FROM SYS.D
+BA_TAB_PARTITIONS WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME=? AND TABLE_OWNER='FOO'};

my $sql_h = $dbh->prepare($sql);

$sql_h->execute($tbs_name);

$sql_ref = $sql_h->fetchall_arrayref;

afork ($sql_ref,10,\&initialize_control_data,$dbh);

$dbh->disconnect();
exit(0);


sub afork (\@$&&) {
   my ($data,$max,$code,$cdbh) = @_;
   my $c = 0;
   foreach my $data (@$data) {
      wait unless ++$c <= $max;
      die "Fork failed: $!\n" unless defined (my $pid = fork);
      $cdbh->{InactiveDestroy} = 1 if ($pid);
      exit $code->($cdbh,@$data[0],@$data[1]) unless $pid;
   }
   1 until -1 == wait;
}

sub initialize_control_data {
   my ($edbh,$schema,$table) = @_;
   print "$schema,$table\n";
}
--- end ---
