Perl Fork Threads Capture Output?

One does not fork multiple threads, one forks processes. Each new process runs in its own memory space, and changing any variable values in one process does not affect those values in any other process. To do what you want, you will need some sort of interprocess communication.

I want to Fork 5 Processes which will all Create 100 Threads each for a small function. The issue is that this function is generating many values which I want to capture in a hash. I am able to do with a single process and creating 100 threads, but I am not able to do with forking multiple threads.

This I am doing in Perl and using threads CPAN module for the same. Multithreading perl fork link|improve this question asked Feb 8 at 12:47user1065000221 0% accept rate.

Actually the small function is downloading files. I fork 5 processes, then each process creates 100 threads to download files using WW::Curl. I don't want t use WWW::Curl::Many module but this way only.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! – user1065000 Feb 8 at 12:57.

One simple way to implement this is to have each child process write its output to a file and to have the parent process read that file when the children are done. You could even have all the children write to the same file, if you are mindful of the concurrency issues: sub write_child_output_to_file { my ($msg, $file) = @_; open my $fh, '>>', $file; flock $fh, 2; seek $fh, 0, 2; print $fh $msg; close $fh; } The Forks::Super module has features that can handle these details for you: use Forks::Super; use Data::Dumper; my %foo; for my $i (1 .. 5) { fork { share => \%foo , sub => { # the code that will run in each child process. # Updates to the variable %foo in the child will be # available to the parent when the child finishes ... } }; } waitall; print "Data produced in all the children: ", Data::Dumper::Dumper(\%foo).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
