I am trying to get my mind around using fork() I have a text file that has solid, liquid, and gas on it all on new lines, how I understand fork() is if I wanted to do a print each statement on each line in the file, fork() could do all at once with parent and child processes.
I can get around doing this with a while loop i.e #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; open(FILE, "text1.txt"); while (my $line = <FILE>) { print " The current state is $line"."\n"; } How could I achieve the same with fork() ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
