Dear Sir,
dLUx (?)s CPAN module Parallel::ForkManager is a _neat_ way of running a
lot of Perl programs in parallel.
No need to wait etc since this is done by the module.
From the synopsis,
use Parallel::ForkManager;
$pm = new Parallel::ForkManager($MAX_PROCESSES);
foreach $data (@all_data) {
# Forks and returns the pid for the child:
my $pid = $pm->start and next;
... do some work with $data in the child process ...
$pm->finish; # Terminates the child process
}
I use it to do a whole bunch of snmpwalks of switch bridge tables.
HTH,
Yours sincerely.

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
