Right now I'm using: for ('test1', 'test2', 'test3') { print STDERR scalar(localtime) . " - fork $_\n"; Fork("TestModule", $_); print STDERR scalar(localtime) . " - enter sleep\n"; sleep 60; print STDERR scalar(localtime) . " - exit sleep\n"; } And in TestModule.pm: package TestModule; sub Run { my $self = shift; my $param = shift; print STDERR scalar(localtime) . " - $self: $param\n"; } Output is this: Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test1 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test1 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test2 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test2 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test3 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test3 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test1 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test1 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test2 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test2 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - fork test3 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - enter sleep Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - TestModule: test3 Wed Feb 18 20:37:04 2004 - exit sleep And so on...
