If so, you'll receive a SIGCHLD signal and can trap it and handle it appropriately. There's some rudimentary coverage of that on http://perldoc.perl.org/perlipc.html (though I can warn you that the perl code is no longer considered idiomatic - see http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/bad-elements/ ), and you may also wish to look at https://metacpan.org/module/Parallel::ForkManager for a useful wrapper over the nitty-gritty details. If that's not what you want, then you'll have to explain.
