Forking not working when perl runs in Docker

[neilwatson]

Greetings,

I have an IRC bot using Bot::BasicBot and it does some forking to lookup requested data. It runs without problems, until I put it in a docker container. When in docker some forks seem not to happen. Has anyone experience this?

• Dockerfile
• Forks from this sub seem not to work.

I will look at a small self contained example script that demonstrates the problem, but I'm not going to go off site to chase down some code that I probably can't easily run to help solve an issue that is of minor interest to me.

It's unlikely to be a Perl issue so much as something missing from the Docker image. Check your logs and make sure you use strictures (use strict; use warnings; - see The strictures, according to Seuss).
