Re: parallel forks

If you want to do the same thing multiple times, you need some kind of loop. I know Parallel::ForkManager has the capability to send back data to the parent. See the "Data structure retrieval" example.

that's the problem. I think I want the forks to do different things, but it seems like none of the modules will do that in parallel and allow me to return data from the forked subroutines.	[reply]

Why would you ever spawn more than one child if all the children were forced to do the same thing!? It's obviously not true that they can't do different things.	[reply]
