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.
