The general form would be something like:
my $pid = fork();
if ($pid) {
# I am in the Parent here, do monitoring of the child
} else {
# I am in the child here.. check stuff and send it to the parent
exit 0; # Don't want to continue past what the child should do
}
Note 1: Error checking is left as an exercise for the reader.
Note 2: If you need more than one child, wrap the whole thing in a loop
of some sort, and use next inside the if()
