I tried your example (see code below) but it didn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

#perl.exe -w

# INIT ----
use Parallel::ForkControl;


# VARS ----
my @collections = qw( adw adw_wet_compleet ag-dou ag-gi ag-hc ag-hlo a
+g-its-sol ag-its-sol-hot agents alg_diversen alg_dossier_juris_en_res

# SUBS ----
sub mySub {
     my $collection = shift;
     print "Col: $collection\n";
     return;
}


# MAIN ----
my $forker = new Parallel::ForkControl(
                 MaxKids => 5000,
                 MinKids => 5,
                 WatchLoad => 1,
                 MaxLoad => 5.50,
                 Code => &mySub
);


foreach my $col (@collections) {
    $forker->run($col);
}
$forker->cleanup();

The output I get is:
Col:
CANNOT RUN A  IN RUN()
