Of course, I was doing it right, but when perl exits, the Zombies disappears. So I was wrong. Thank you!
Any way of leaving the zombies after the parent exits? | [reply] |
Simplified: if process exits, all its children are turned to be children of process 1 (init) and that it will wait.
You can for example replace <> with kill STOP => $$ but than it will be good to have possibility to terminate that process.

No, because they are not zombies then, they are orphans.
Anyway, a zombie is a process that has finished - it is only there to allow the parent to pick-up its exit code, there is almost nothing left of the original process (if memory serves me right, a zombie is only a couple of pages on Linux).
