Is it possible to issue multiple concurrent commands to system (for instance) from within a perl script?
If it is (and I strongly suspect that it must be) would someone please be so kind as to suggest some terms or perl commands to look up. (I suspect the term threading might appear but I don't want to start barking up the wrong tree if I don't have to) I'm happy to research this but just don't know where to start. The reason I would like to do this is to speed up some reporting scripts. Ie if I'm using a perl script to search multiple locations for a file, or issue a command on multiple machines it would be nice to issue them all at once rather than wait for each to return. Also is it possible to make perl issue a command to system (again for instance) and not wait for a returned value?
