    No, I think what he is trying to do is have 100 children running at the same time max. But when 10 children drop out, start up another 10 until he has gone through 1000 children.

      Ah, I see. Then something like this may help (not tested): 

      $pm->run_on_finish(
    sub {
        state $counter;
        start_next_10_processes() unless ++$counter % 10;
    }
);

      I hope not. That simply delays the start of 900 children for no gain. Normally, P::FM works as follows:

      Have 100 children running at the same time max. But when 1 child drops out, start up another until it has gone through 1000 children.
