As a general point, why are you trying to have multiple processes write to the DB? Do you think it will be faster? I suspect that since this will be most likely disk bound (aside from the cost of building an index, which can be done after all updates are performed), having multiple processes go at this won't gain you much. maybe its ok to get rid of the confusing and have a single process do it. Otherwise, you can try writing the parts that would be forked in another script, then doing a system(" otherScript.pl $data &")
then your main script will continue while the other script does it's thing.

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).
