> I have a six processor win10 system and I have a very CPU intensive program that I can easily carve into parallel processes

I advise you to stay away from Perl's fork emulation on Windows, too many surprises and general weirdness. There are better alternatives. If you provide more detail on the specific problem you are trying to solve, we will be able to better advise you.

In case it's of use, I keep a list of general references on this topic: Threading and Concurrency References

Update: I see from my list of references that you asked a similar question last year: Parallel processing on Windows ... and another one earlier this year: fork() on win10. It would have been nice if you'd mentioned that in your post and told us what you've tried from the responses to those threads ... and told us more about your CPU intensive program.
