devel/p5-Proc-Simple 1.32 DragonFly

The Proc::Simple package provides objects that model real- life processes from a user's point of view. A new process object is created by

      $myproc = Proc::Simple->new();

   Either shell-like command lines or references to perl
   subroutines can be specified for launching a process in
   background.  A 10-second sleep process, for example, can
   be started via the shell as

      $myproc->start("sleep 10");

   or, as a perl subroutine, with

      $myproc->start(sub { sleep(10); });
