Re: does system() return a pid?by Athanasius (Archbishop) |

Hello sciguy, Does the system() function return a value ... and is that value the PID of the child process? What would be the point? The return value of a system call is received only after the child process has completed and exited. Maybe you’re looking for threads? See perlthrtut. The Monastery also has some tutorials on threads: Threads, Multi-Processing, and Inter-Process Communication. Hope that helps,
