in reply to PERL: stop and restart parent process without killing child

I would just divide the task into two separate programs,

Another alternative would be to switch to threads. Put the code that used to be your parent, into a thread, and you can halt the thread, then reuse or restart it with fresh virgin data.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
