Hi Rob,
Hmmmm, true -- I may be adding and adding code unnecessarily... What the forked process does is run a C++ program and it is that program that needs to be timed. Would the code below accomplish that? I mean, having "times" in the Perl script that calls that C++ program will give the user time of that (spawned) Perl process. But that is a close enough estimation of the C++ program's user time provided all I do is run that program?
Also, this is within modperl/mason and I would like the parent process to be completely detached from the child (so that a web page can be shown) and not care when the child completes...

What do you need to accomplish that something as simple as the code below won't do? Rob use strict; use warnings; my $kid = fork; if ($kid) { print "in parent whose kid is $kid\n"; } elsif ($kid == 0) { print "In child\n"; my ($usertime) = times; print "$usertime seconds\n"; } else { die "Cannot fork: $!\n"; }
