I am having an issue with Fork in Perl. I want to execute 10 Fork Processes at a go from one single script and all 10 Child (Forked) processes will do the same thing (Copy files from one place to another).
while ($callCount <= $totalCalls) {
for (1..$TotalProcessToFork) {
print "Call -> $callCount";
if($pid = fork) {
#in Parent Process
print " :: PID -> $pid\n";
push(@list_of_pid, $pid);
} else {
#in Child Process
`touch $callCount`;
}
$callCount++;
}
}
Now when I execute this code, there are around 1000 child processed which are executed.
Can any one tell me what wrong I am doing here.

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).

are good places to start.
