Pretty new to Perl still so forgive me a bit please. I have searched the web (google is my friend) and searched the groups and found multiple things concerning fork. here is the problem I can't find a page that has the basic syntax for using it. I am writing a small bbs system. I need to be able to do several things at the same time eg. check your password while everyone else is chatting. If I understand this correctly if I fork the process then it will run at the same time as the original process and everyone will be able to do their thing?? is this correct? Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks Randy
