I'm trying to convert a ksh script to perl. This script executes some other commands in background and does a wait for all of them do finish and then continues like this...
command1 &
command2 &
command3 &
wait # wait for commands 1-3 to finish
I'm trying to figure out how to do this in perl. Something like ...
system("command1 &");
system("command2 &");
system("command3 &");
wait; # doesn't behave like the unix wait :(
What do I put in place of the perl wait command to get the same behavior as the unix wait when used in a ksh?

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).
