Re^3: Two processes of a Perl EXE by vitoco (Hermit) on Nov 24, 2009 at 13:42 UTC
Here, I found the following that seems to be included in the module docs: When a non-dependant PAR package runs, there is a two stage binary frontend: first the executable demo.exe that I ran, then a second demo.exe that is extracted to the temp dir and run as a child of the first. If you look at the process list while demo.exe runs, you'll see two processes with the same name.	[reply]

I'm guessing the first process is the one that extracts the perl binary and your sources from the exe, then calls the extracted binary to run the extracted sources as a separate process (to handle crashes better maybe?), and then cleans up the extracted files when perl exits. At least I seem to recall someone once mentioning some article where someone else said that's how it might more or less work. (In other words, I'm guessing)	[reply]

If you google for par pp perl two processes, on the first results page you should find 2 process of par - nntp.perl.org, http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SMUELLER/PAR-Packer-1.001/contrib/docs/who_am_i.txt, http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SMUELLER/PAR-Packer-1.001/contrib/docs/where_is_it.txt The lesson here is look in the distribution , check the users list, and do search (GIYF or JFGI)	[reply]
