in reply to Parallel::ForkManager fork/wait caveat

Well, it applies wholesale insofar as the fork/wait calls will be off bounds of any limit imposed using Parellel::ForkManager. There is no intrinsic problem in using them, of course.

Makeshifts last the longest.

    You can use fork/wait system calls in a process if you don't use the $pm->start or $pm->wait* methods in it, so you can freely use them in child processes.
      Thanks dLuxx (and Aristotle). dLuxx since your monk name is very close to Parallel::ForkManager's authors name can I assume you're one in the same? If so, thanks for the module - it's going to be a great help.
