When I execute the parent script I receive the following output:
/liwidata/dev/tmp/jmg/dev/library> ./test1.pl In test1 the parent pid is 21348; the child pid is 21349 All done! /liwidata/dev/tmp/jmg/dev/library> In test2.pl the pid is 21349
As you can see the command prompt does not appear at the conclusion of the child script.

Are you sure? To me it looks like the prompt is right there, _before_ the "In test2.pl" output.

Instead of Ctrl-C, have you tried just entering a command? (or pressing enter to simply go to the next line)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
