Your sample code uses Parallel::ForkManager, and uses the wait_all_children method to wait for the children to end processing. >From the Parallel::ForkManager docs:
-begin quote- wait_all_children You can call this method to wait for all the processes which have been forked. This is a blocking wait. -end quote- So you are calling a method that says it will block, hence your demo script is blocking. Instead of using "wait_all_children" (which blocks), I would look at using the "run_on_finish" callback method instead, and make the call to stop the spinner from that callback method.
