Multiple jobs in perl

Hello,

I would like to write a perl script which executes several jobs. The key thing is I only want 4 jobs to be executed at one time (that's because my machine as 4 cpu, and I want one job per cpu). Is there any way that I can get perl to co-operate with me in this?

Thanks!

Sure.

I assume your problem is that you want to spin the jobs off and know when each is done so you can start another?

I have a simple introduction to fork and exec with Perl at Fork and exec with Perl

I think you should see how to modify the sample there for what you want.
