note vitoco <p><a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=par+pp+perl+two+processes">Here</a>, I found the following that seems to be included in the module docs:</p> <p><i>When a non-dependant PAR package runs, there is a two stage binary frontend: first the executable demo.exe that I ran, then a second demo.exe that is extracted to the temp dir and run as a child of the first. If you look at the process list while demo.exe runs, you'll see two processes with the same name.</i></p> 809034 809058
