Great! Just what I've been waiting for. I am forever saved the tedious,
yet difficult task of writing
pid = fork;
in my perl code. It's now easily replaced with the simple and much easier
to understand
use forkwrapper;
pid = forkwrapper.fork;
Uh, wait, no, now that I think about, it, the new way is not that much
clearer and easier. Hmmm. Perhaps I'm not understanding the benefits of
libfork-perl. Maybe if there was a place in the package description to
summarize what features libfork-perl provides, and how it makes fork
development[1] easier.
Hint, Hint.
Also, 'wraper' is more commonly spelled 'wrapper'.

[1] Actually, I've always thought the fork to be a pretty well developed
utensil. The spoon, now, *that* needs some work. And don't even get me
started on the spatula.
