in thread To Fork or Not to Fork. Tis a question for PerlMonks

Because there is no I/O

It is true that your Perl script isn't doing the I/O, but it is very much not true that "there is no I/O".

Whether Perl is doing the I/O or computing vs. some other program doing it has little bearing on the performance impact of having Perl fork() so you can have more than 1 instance running at once.
