Hello Monks,

I have chunks of data that i am going to upload to Database which can take days to finish upload , i think if i can partition the arrays of data to be uploaded into some part while i spawn process to save each allocated @array data, i think it may save me some time please i need help with this Threads or Fork please advice

 
use strict;
use warnings;

my @orig = 1..2500;

my $numberofarray = scalar @orig;

my $arrs = 100; # Partition

#print $arrs;
sub Partition_Array_data {
my @arrs;     
push @{$arrs[$_ % $arrs]}, $orig[$_] for 0..$#orig;
if (my $pid = fork) {
        waitpid($pid, 0); } else { 
            if (fork) { exit } else { thread_dbSave(\@arrs); }  } 

}




sub thread_dbSave {  # this function will handle the saving
    
    my @arrayofsplit = @{$_[0]};
    
print join ' ', @$_, "\n" for @arrayofsplit;
    
}

&Partition_Array_data();
