Hello,
OK, I have a nice a simple test case, but I just can't get it to do what
I want it to. How do I get this so that when I hit submit it comes
straight back with my "hi" message instead of waiting until the sleep
command has finished? I've tried playing around with fork and how I
execute the command, but whatever I do I just can't get it to go to the
return message without waiting for the child process to finish. Any
help gratefully recieved.
Many thanks
Alex.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $pid = fork && exit; #$pid should return 0 if fork is
successful.
if ($pid == 0 ) {
exec "sleep 100" or die "Cannot sleep: $!" ;
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n<html>";
print "\nhi\n\n</html>\n\n";
