I've checked a fork server ... number of child limits.
Matt.
Here's a way to do number of child limiting:
establish a variable visible to both your forking loop and your REAPER function,
as discussed in perldoc perlipc. When for returns non-zero, increment the
children-active variable, when reaper reaps, decrement it.
When the number of children is greater than the limit, sleep a second and
check the variable again instead of proceeding to accept another connection.
If your peers time out, they'll try again.
