Program Description:

The program forks a three Childern. The first one forks acts as Parent to the next two forked.

The problem I am having is, I keep getting the blow error

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /nss/nfx/shmem/lib/lib/perl5/site_perl//5.8.5/IPC/Shareable.pm line 446.

Thanks. Any help would be really appreciated.
