The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:       Proc::Fork
  DSLIP:       adpfp
  description: Simple interface to fork() system call
  userid:      ROODE (Eric J. Roode)
  chapterid:    4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
  communities:
    RPI lily

  similar:
    Proc::Forkfunc

  rationale:

    Proc::Fork provides a simple wrapper to the fork() system call.
    (Not that using fork() is all that complex....). It provides default
    error handling, and provides what I think is a nice syntax to
    clearly delineate the parent and child code.

    Proc::Forkfunc is rather limited, and seems not to have been
    updated since 1996. (also, I think Proc::Fork is a more sensible
    name than "Forkfunc", but that's my own prejudice, no doubt).

    It's not tested as thoroughly as I'd like, hence the "alpha"
    status, and the fact that test.pl has no test cases. If any of the
    CPAN testers out there can suggest nice test cases, I'd be grateful.

The resulting entry would be:

Proc::
::Fork            adpfp Simple interface to fork() system call       ROODE
