in thread Net::SSH::Perl and fork hangs

Which runs slower? a) A new connection + system() or b) A Code that hangs and never completes?

And, since this is a 'test'case', why is there an artificial constraint on the amount of time it takes? Tests typically need run to completion, how ever long that is. There are better things to focus your optimization efforts upon.

Update: Looking through the old diaries I found the test logs from a gig I had at a bank in 1995. We were happy when the one test that exercised all of the databases, some 20+ Oracle DBs, completed in under 17 hours. Now we only ran it once a month as part of the regression testing, but....

    The focus is on test execution time also. There will be 100's of test cases and each test case will have several cmds to be executed over n number of nodes. Currently using Net::SSH::Perl, my test case takes 6 secs to run on 3 different hosts involving a total of 70 system cmds. I am very happy with Net::SSH::Perl module. But multithreading with Net::SSH::Perl gives segv when I try to join the thread. That's why I was experimenting with fork and exec. Multithreading with Net::OpenSSH works fine. And so also fork and exec. Perhaps will have to switch to Net::OpenSSH instead of Net::SSH::Perl
