Re: Parallel Execution Flows

See open or fork, or perlipc for a general introduction, but that should have been covered in your course material already. Personally, I prefer open for IPC, because it's mostly like backticks except that it's asynchronous.

Thanks. When i replaced the backticks in the $sio_cmd with system, it worked for me.	[reply]

You didn't read the documentation I linked to. Your approach will sporadically fail as soon as there is more than one process with the name `sio` in it, for example `grep sio` will also match that. Please read open, fork and/or perlipc.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
