Hi everybody, I would really appreciate some help with Proc::Simple.

I would like to use Proc::Simple to push an object method into the background ( If that is the correct way to term what I am doing ).

The Proc::Simple docs are really good, they just don't have an example exactly like my situation so my stupidity has unstuck me very quickly.

This is my code: 

        my $status = $child_procs{$host}{proc}->start( sub { $return =
+ $hinst->evtwait(
                               GROUP   => $host_in_transit->{copy_grp}
+->{copy_grp},
                                MODE    => '22',
                                STATE   => 'good',
                                TIMEOUT => '9999'
                                ) } );

The trouble is that the process backgrounds nicely but I am unable to keep the value returned to $return. Any ideas how I can do this ?

Ultimately, I will run up to 5 of these processes in the background and will store the $return in a hash.

Thanks Everybody.

Regards,
Darren
