Available Packages
Name : perl-forks
Version : 0.36

Source : perl-forks-0.36-18.fc34.src.rpm
Repository : fedora
Summary : A drop-in replacement for Perl threads using fork()
URL : https://metacpan.org/release/forks
License : (GPL+ or Artistic) and (GPLv2+ or Artistic)
Description : The forks.pm module is a drop-in replacement for threads.pm. It has the
: same syntax as the threads.pm module (it even takes over its name space) but
: has some significant differences:
:
: - you do _not_ need a special (threaded) version of Perl
: - it is _much_ more economic with memory usage on OS's that support COW
: - it is more efficient in the start-up of threads
: - it is slightly less efficient in the stopping of threads
: - it is less efficient in inter-thread communication
:
: If for nothing else, it allows you to use the Perl threading model in
: non-threaded Perl builds and in older versions of Perl (5.6.0 and
: higher are supported).
