Jenda, Actually, that's what I started with. But here is what I found. If I set the $max_processes to 8 in Parallel::ForkManager. IT would indeed spawn off 8 "children". But as the children finished "died" new ones did not take their place. Not until all 8 children were finished, did a new child become present. And that was only 1 child at a time. Not 8. THat 's why I decided to go the POSIX route.
I di not use Win32::ProcFarm because I am only working on a *nix network.
