It doesn't really tell you how many processes to create, but you give it how many, and it makes sure that only that many are running at a time, and creates a queue of threads waiting to be executed. It saves you time re-inventing the wheel so that you can focus on what your processes are doing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
