Description : module to create new processes
AnyEvent::Fork allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
preserving most of the advantages of fork.
It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
subprocesses
for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for use in pre-forked
servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such as CGI scripts
from a
web server), which can be faster (and more well behaved) than using
fork+exec
in big processes.
Special care has been taken to make this module useful from other modules,
while still supporting specialised environments such as App::Staticperl or
PAR::Packer.
The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
