I was not able to reproduce your error. I tried the following code with ActivePerl 5.8.8 on WinXP SP2, and it ran without any errors or warnings:
use LWP::Simple;
use Parallel::ForkManager;
@links=(
["http://feeds.feedburner.com/Evolution101.xml","evo.xml"],
["http://feeds.wnyc.org/radiolab.xml","rl.xml"],
);
my $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager(30);
foreach my $linkarray (@links) {
$pm->start and next;
my ($link, $fn) = @$linkarray;
if (getstore($link,$fn) != RC_OK) {
warn "Cannot get $fn from $link"
}
$pm->finish;
}
$pm->wait_all_children;
Remember: There's always one more bug.
