p5-Proc-Simple

Perl5 module to launch and control background processes

The Proc::Simple package provides objects that model real- life processes from a user's point of view. A new process object is created by $myproc = Proc::Simple->new(); Either shell-like command lines or references to perl subroutines can be specified for launching a process in background. A 10-second sleep process, for example, can be started via the shell as $myproc->start("sleep 10"); or, as a perl subroutine, with $myproc->start(sub { sleep(10); });
