Doh!!
A rhetorical question, no doubt.
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
#except for sigchld, This is better.
my $pid;
defined($pid=open(X, "|-")) || die qq(cant fork: $!\n);
if ($pid){ system(qq(touch parent));
}
else{ system(qq(touch child));
};
----------------------------------------------------------
I wrongly guessed that control would resume at the line
following:
> my $psqlpid = open(OUTPIPE,"|-") || die qq(cant fork: $!);
