Re: Re: perl.exe crash in win32 with use of fork and sockets

[Amoe]

Blah, my Win98 box forks (no, not in the "barfs" sense, but that too ;)) all the time... Wonder what's different.

Hmm, crazyinsomniac and Amoe are right. I am wrong. You can fork on Windows these days, at least using AS Build 620 on Win95.

C:\>type fork.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

defined(my $pid = fork()) || die "Can't fork!";

print $pid ? "Parent\n" : "Child\n";

C:\>perl fork.pl
Parent
Child

C:\>

This is news to me. Thanks crazy and co this is forkin good to know.

cheers
