in reply to fork...

hi pearlmonkey!

"unless(waitpid(-1, 0) == -1 )>" instead of an "unless(waitpid(-1, 64) == -1 )"
did the trick - no zombies, everything worked fine.
it's a deadrat-linux6.0 with perl-5.00503-2.

my progress-bar is working really fine now :)
hm...if you wonder "wtf is he coding on?" - take a look at this
this is the former version, with no status-|progress-bar :)

once more: thnx a lot !!

    Bizzare. waitpid(-1,0) definately did not work for me.

    Glad you got it working though. Maybe POSIX::WNOHANG is not 64 on your system?

    PS. Judging from your website you seem to be into mp3s. I wrote a MP3 server tutorial you may be interested in (if you havent made one already).
