Also I forget to mention that I am running ActiveState Perl on Win32. I hope this doesn't matter Unfortunately it does! Windows does not support `fork` at the OS level, perl tries to emulate it creating a new threat and cloning your program state but it is far from perfect. On Windows it is better to use threads to run several tasks in parallel rather than fork.	[reply] [d/l]

What I didn't publish is the following in my code: just after: `$kid = fork;` [download] I am doing the following: `$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:DatabaseName;host=127.0.0.1;mysql_serve +r_prepare=1",'root','pass',{AutoCommit=>1}) or die $DBI::errstr;` [download] It works just fine for me using the fork emulation. Can you perhaps may be give me an example of using multiple Database handles and threading server with IO::Socket. Thanks a lot for your answers, you are really helping me.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

why don't you tell us briedfly what your applications does? Killing a process that could be writting data to a database is not the finest idea.	[reply]
