Hi,
You can do that with 'thread' or 'Acme::Spork'.
As for thread you can do something like:
__BEGIN__
use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
sub getArray {
my ($arg1,$arg2) = @_;
my @output = `./myscript1.pl $arg1 $arg2`;
return chomp @output;
}
my( $arg1, $arg2 ) = @ARGV;
### Note: The function that is run in the thread
### is called in the same context as the call to create.
### If you want the function called in a llist context,
### you must call create in a list context.
my( $thrArray ) = threads->create( \&getArray, $arg1, $arg2, $filename );
### Do anything else the main thread needs to do here, *before* calling join.
### The joins will block until their threads complete.
### The values returned by the functions are returned when you join the thread.
my @array = $thrArray->join;
print "@array\n";
__END__
Hope that helps.
