I submitted my request to register the namespace to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
through the pause.perl.org interface. Before I upload the module, I
figured I'd send a email here, to double check my logic.
Basically, here's my rationale from the namespace registration
request:
I plan on utilizing

2) I almost thing that a reverse would be better (i.e., ForkControl::Linux,
or similar). Your module could provide a

Alternatively, there are Unix and Proc top level namespaces already.

There are similar modules, but their interface is different. I've only
found Parallel::ForkManager to be close, implementation wise, to do what
my module does. I aimed to remove all the fork controlling code/logic

Either your description was unclear, or I misread it.
