Re: Forked processes && Perl TK Debugger (ptkdb)

AFAIK there's unfortunately no chance to debug a forked process. Cause this is a new process, you get no contact to it with your debugger.
If there is a chance, I would also be very happy to know how.

You can debug Perl scripts that fork() using the default Perl debugger. It gets a bit confusing because you end up with competing prompts from the two resulting copies of the Perl debugger, though. This sounds like a limitation in the particular debugger being used. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

Which would be strange, since, AFAIK, it is possible in other languages... Jouke Visser, Perl 'Adept'	[reply]
