Just when I was getting ready to give up on perl for threaded applications (and I really like perl in general) I tried forks.pm.
I'm glad you're not giving up on Perl.
I don't see segfaults, i don't get weird locking problems, it just works as advertised... I was quite sceptical given that there are only 2 revisions on CPAN but (at least for me) this module is superior to all the others I mentioned above.
Thank you for your kind words.
THANKS Elizabeth! (i feel we're on a first name basis since you've helped me so much by writing your module - i hope you don't mind)
No problem, Bradley. ;-)
One side note - i do get thousands of lines of Use of uninitialized value in eval "string" at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0/forks.pm line 990. as my program runs.
Hmmm... must be something specific that you do with forks.pm. In any case, I've hopefully silenced this in version 0.03 which is on its way to CPAN now.
I can't stand to look at this another minute right now so I don't know what's causing that - but i thought i should probably report it...
Thanks for the report.
many thanks!
You're welcome. Glad you like the module.
(PS I originally tried to post this message via nntp but it never made it to the group...)
Well, I don't do NNTP, so that's just as well...
