Chapter 2. Processes, Pipes, and Signals
This chapter discusses three key Perl features: processes, pipes, and signals. By creating new processes, a Perl program can run another program or even clone copies of itself in order to divide the work. Pipes allow Perl scripts to exchange data with other processes, and signals make it possible for Perl scripts to monitor and control other processes.
