How to make two perl functiones work concurrently ????

Bassam · 03-09-2004, 10:33 PM

Hello Guys,
I am writing a perl program that consists of two main functionalities represented, each functionality represented by a SUB function (func1 and func2), and these two functiones should work concurrently by giving them an execution time of 2 seconds irrespective of running until the end of every function.

Now, how to make a concurrent execution for these two functions?
If the answer is using Mutithreading, then what kind of multithreading should I use, and how to start with???

Thanks for Help

Hi Bassam,

fork is what you are looking for.

Do a google search for 'perl fork example' and you should get what you need.
