Thanks for the info, James. Sounds like threading is still a ways over my head, but forking sounds interesting.
I have a perl script that does simple find-replaces within all the files passed to it (the key parts were written by very kind people on this list, actually). Would it be advantageous for the script to fork so that it could be find-replacing on all files simultaneously as opposed to serially?
