Description: module to fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
The purpose of the small (in scope and footprint) Proc::FastSpawn 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.
