Forking Perl
I wrote a nice little XMLRPC web service at work. The problem is, it blocks on a single client. If request A is being processed, request B won’t be until A is done. I know that I either need to fork or thread, but I’m not sure which way to go, and I’m a little confused by both methods. I found this article, which helps a bit:
perl.com: Embedding Web Servers [Sep. 18, 2002]
Also, there’s the perldoc on IPC.
Forking Perl.
