I don't know - have you tried a simple fork example?
This has drawbacks in that fork is flaky (emulate) on WIn32 and the original
process won't terminate until the child does or gets killed...
#!/blah...
use strict;
use warnings;
my $pid=fork();
if ($pid) {
print STDERR "Parent ($$) got PID $pid from fork()\n";
}else{
open(OUT,">test.txt") or die("Couldn't open test.txt\n");
print OUT "Some text\n";
close OUT;
exit(0);
}
__END__
Kind regards,
