Hi everyone,
I have a perl script I am trying to make run quicker. Currently,
the script runs line-by-line and executes each line of code. The next
line of code does not execute until the previous line is finished.
One line of the code tarrs a bunch of files and does not go to the
next line until the the tar ball is complete.
The line of code after the tar is not dependent on the line before
it.
***THE QUESTION***
Is there a way I can "background" the line that is doing the tar and
have the script go to the next line even though the tar is not complete?
I am think I have to fork the tar, but I am not too sure if this
would be the best approach.
thanks for the help.
