Re^2: Parallel Processing

Thanks every one.

I found a simple solution that meets my requirement. What I did was added "START" inside the system command

for 1..5{
system("START DoThis.exe");
}

No need for START. This will do the trick on Windows: `for (1..5) { system(1, "DoThis.exe"); }` [download] See perlport.	[reply] [d/l]

meh. `for (1..5) { system('start DoThis.exe'); }` [download] vs `my @pids; for (1..5) { push @pids, system(1, "DoThis.exe"); } waitpid($_, 0) for @pids;` [download] Maybe zombies don't matter and you can reduce the latter to something akin to the former, but we haven't been told that. Then again, I would want to know if the children died, and using `start` hides that data.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
