Re (tilly) 3: multiple fork()

The comment about a "separate process" makes me think that it is using fork. (Which is certainly how I would write it.) So you should not need to recompile, but you may have some problems on Windows. (Try it.)

UPDATE
Follow Dominus' link above for the Perl module under discussion...

I don't need to worry about Windows, since it's all running on a solaris box. However, my "Network Programming with Perl" book says that the async function is used to create a thread object. Perhaps there is a separate perl module called Async as well. Hmm.. dunno. I'll look around.	[reply]

Says Galen: <blcokquote> Perhaps there is a separate perl module called Async as well. Hmm.. dunno. I'll look around. If you would follow the link in my reply, you would not have to 'look around'. Here it is again: CLICK HERE FOR THE PERL ASYNC MODULE WHICH USES FORK() TO RUN CODE ASYNCHRONOUSLY WHICH WAS WHAT YOU WERE ASKING HOW TO DO.
