Are you trying to execute a statement handle that was created in the child
process? If yes, you can't do that since forking, unlike threads does not
share it's variables, but rather creates a copy of itself and then the child
process is on it's own.

Subject: MySQL DBI on Windows problem
Hi,
I'm having a problem on Windows 2k where I have a pair of scripts where
the parent forks off a few processes (a second perl script) which does
some database input for a period of time, and then returns to the
parent. Upon the return to the parent however, I can no longer do a
$sth->execute() call. When I attempt to do so, it hangs and I get no
error messages.
Trying to run the same scripts on Windows ME with the same perl
installation I get the following error in a dialog box:
Perl has caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL. Perl will now close.
That file contains the runtime libraries for Visual C++. I have been
told that the DLL causes a lot of problems if changed because a lot of
programs depend on bugs in older versions and others depend on the bugs
being fixed in newer versions, so this might be a problem where it
depends on what version of this .dll the perl.exe file was built
against.
I have tried to run this through the perl debugger, but it has problems
with the fork in the parent script and I'm not sure what to do to
resolve this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
