|
486 | fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple: |
|
|
489 | spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as |
|
|
490 | possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but |
|
|
491 | hopefully faster than those two syscalls. |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec |
|
|
494 | programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX |
|
|
495 | threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call |
|
|
496 | fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external |
|
|
497 | processes. |

|
500 | Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't. |
|
|
501 | |
|
|
502 | This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking |
|
|
503 | them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but |
|
|
504 | preserving most of the advantages of fork. |
|
|
505 | |
|
|
506 | It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent |
|
|
507 | subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for |
|
|
508 | use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such |
|
|
509 | as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well |
|
|
510 | behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes. |
