It superficially appears to me that you are attempting to launch one thread per-file.
That's what I thought too at first. I didn't get the memo that fork on Win32 was ready for actual use so I got real curious about how Parallel::ForkManager dealt with this. Turns out, when you use $pm->start, if you've already used all your children (14 here), it waits for a child and finally launches a new one and continues the parent program. So yeah, it seems that's how you're "supposed" to do it.
As good as Parallel::ForkManager seems to be, it still strikes me as odd to reach for forks on a platform that's natively threaded.

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).
