From: ccc31807 on 23 Apr 2010 14:02 On Win32, the process id is whatever the value of $$ is. When you fork(), the parent retains whatever the original pid was. However, the child pid has a negative number. Why? CODE my $orig_pid = $$; my $child = fork(); if ($$ > 0) { print qq(1. The pid is $$\n); print qq(Parent process pid is $$, child is $child\n); } else { print qq(2. The pid is $$\n); print qq(Child process pid is $$, parent is $orig_pid\n); } OUTPUT 1. The pid is 3172 Parent process pid is 3172, child is -2272 2. The pid is -2272 Child process pid is -2272, parent is 3172
