Dealing with multiple processes?by bigmoose (Acolyte) |

bigmoose has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Most glorious Monks, I started learning Perl 2 or 3 months ago, and my first 'project' is to write some that will capture RTP packets (with Net:Pcap) and eventual decode the resulting payload (with Net::RTP::Packet). All in a VoIP respect.. to be clear. While planning something on paper, to roughly judge how I will code this, I realised that I wasn't sure how I could have this deal with multiple instances of RTP packets being captured. For example.. 1 call begins and the script picks this up and begins to output the payload to a file. While this call is occuring a 2nd call begins -... That's where I can't percieve how the script will react? I imagined looping the capture would be the right thing to do.. but would it begin to capture a 2nd call without the 1st one having finished? I perhaps feel like I'm not aware of a concept, as Perl is my first programming language. Thanks for any direction you can give. Thank you Monks, Ben
