Dear Perl masters,
I actually feel kinda stupid asking this, but I couldn't find an appropriate answer on the web. Basically I need to fork 2 childs and from each child I need to call a subroutine with 2 parameters. But from what I've seen so far, it's somehow not possible. It should look like this:
fork child 1 -> $return1 = subroutine($param1, $param2)
fork child 2 -> $return2 = subroutine($param3, $param4)
wait for both childs to finish
run other code with $return1 and $return2
Can't be that hard to do, right?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Stefan

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
