Hello,
Is it possible to use POE and the fork function in the same script.
I am running into an interaction problem where the POE::Kernel does not
return if i have forked off other process outside of the POE. Any input on
what I may be doing wrong
Here is the psuedo code logic of my script
#--- Call a function to fork off a process to start tailing some files
#--- store its the above pids so we can terminate later
#--- Call POE::Wheel::Run to do some task
#--- After the above POE task returns kill the tailing process
If i do not do the forking for tailing files, the POE::Kernel returns after
the
task is completed, but if I fork of the tailing process as above,
the POE::Kernel never returns.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

p.s: I thought i had read about this interaction somewhere in documentation
but am not
able toget to it to follow discussion around it, if any.
