    Then you'll either want to use fork and waitpid or one of the many Fork modules on cpan that do that for you, such as Parallel::ForkManager.
    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
