fork method

manoj_speed has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi friends

I declared a variable in my program. After that I used fork() method. In the child process I changed the value of the variable that I declared before using fork(). It does not affect the value in parent process. Is there any way to change the value of variable in child process that affects the value in parent process?

I think you can use the vfork system call.	[reply]
