Quoth (e-mail address removed):

hi,

Can perl create process

perldoc -f fork

or thread

perldoc threads

to do things concurrently?

like "fork"?

Oh, so you do know what fork is. Why didn't you just look it up then?

seems the <<camel book>> did not say about it.

The camel book has a whole chapter on IPC, including how to use fork.

Your copy camel book seems severely buggy. Mine has quite a bit of
information on both. Did you even bother to look in the index for
"fork" or "thread"? Mine says that threads are discussed from pages
446-463, and fork on pages 428, 715, and 989 (not to mention a host of
sub-topics).
