( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Sorry, I am new here but I have played with perl quite a bit. Here is some code I came up with to spawn processes using fork. It works and it seems quite simple...

my $kidpid = 0; my $jobs_to_fork = 3; my $i_am_the_master = 0; my $samps = 0; my $last_no = 10; my $i = 0; for ($i = 1; $i <= $jobs_to_fork; $i++) { $kidpid = fork_me($kidpid); print "$i. kidpid:$kidpid\n"; } if ($kidpid == 0) { $i_am_the_master = 1; } else { $i_am_the_master = 0; } sleep (3); if ($i_am_the_master) { print "I will look after my children\n"; } else { printf ("I am a child %6d running the program.\n", $kidpid); while ($samps < 1000000) { $rnd_no = int(rand($last_no+1)); $samps++; $total = $total+$rnd_no; } printf ("%6d: %d %f\n", $kidpid, $samps, ($total / $samps)); } sub fork_me { my $kpid = $_[0]; if ($kpid == 0) { $kpid = fork(); # the master perserves himself and start another t +hread } return($kpid); # the child sill just return to go do his job }

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
