Hi

Report this to rt://PAR for PAR::FAQ

TODO/BUG rt://PAR/PAR::FAQ is also missing a copy/mention of ppsimple.pl and ppautolink.pl 

BEGIN {
    my $PAR_PROGNAME = $ENV{PAR_PROGNAME};
    use Win32::Process::Info();
    my $pi = Win32::Process::Info->new();
    my $parentpid =
      $pi->GetProcInfo( $$, { no_user_info => 1 } )->[0]->{ParentProce
+ssId};
    my $ExecutablePath =
      $pi->GetProcInfo( $parentpid, { no_user_info => 1 } )->[0]
      ->{ExecutablePath};
    undef $pi;
    no Win32::Process::Info;

    sub IsParParentAlive { ## IsWin32ParParentAlive
        $PAR_PROGNAME eq $ExecutablePath    ## doublecheck
## $ENV{PAR_SPAWNED} ## equivalent statement 
          and kill 0, $parentpid;
    }
} ## end BEGIN

Usage, if parent a.exe got killed, then PAR_SPAWNED a.exe dies hard 


while( 1 ){
  print " $$ doing stuff\n";
  sleep 1;
  if( not IsParParentAlive() ){
      die "ParParent is dead";
  }
}
