Description-en: module to fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple: spawn a
subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as possible. Basically
the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but hopefully faster than those two
syscalls.
.
Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec programs
when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX threads in your
perl process then it generally isn't safe to call fork from perl, but it is
safe to use this module to execute external processes.
