in reply to fork and print..

Try closing MFOUT before you fork: close(MFOUT); This should flush the contents of the output buffer, which otherwise would get duplicated in all of the children.

    And probably the reason this code works for jepri and not for Kung is that newer Perls (5.6) auto flush buffers before forking (on many platforms).
