I've got a *bunch* of code that I've been rewriting recently and ran
into a rather weird problem.
it won't fork.
If I write the following:
foreach my $file ( @$files ) {
my $pid = fork();
print "$pid --> $file\n";
[....]
}
I will get an output of:
0 --> file_one
3242 --> file_one
0--> file_two
but no 3243-->file_two.
Repeated print statements later on in the job continue to indicate that
this is not forking correctly.
I've been changing a number of things over to objects and references,
but I can't see anyway that this would interfere with something so
fundamental.
Unfortunately, perl -d doesn't work well for forks.
