( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Thanks for the post.

I am new to Perl, and want to make sure I understand this right. When we say "$manager->start and next;" , doesn't what is below this statement (rest of the for loop that is) get skipped completely? I am having a hard time understanding at what point (and precisely how) the child process is spawned, where does it end, and how the code actually executes. Can someone please explain this a bit more? The way I see it, it seems like all these child processed are spawned but nothing happens after that since we are out of the for loop already!

Thanks in advance.

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