I need to control a perl program from another perl program.
See:
perldoc perlipc (search for "Signals")
perldoc perlvar (search for %SIG)
perldoc -f kill
Also:
perldoc -f fork
perldoc -f wait
The kill function sends a signal to another process, it does not
necessarily kill it. How the process responds to the signal is its
business. The only except is the KILL signal (signal number 9) which
always kills the process. Unfortunately the function to send signals to
other processes is called kill, which leads to lots of confusion.
