[Israel.pm] performance problems - Win32::Process which runs perl

[Sagiv Barhoom]

Hi Gavor it is not a busy waiting
BTW 
the sleep solve this problem on that code - I will have to check it at work 
and see if it does the same on my application.
On *nix I do somthing like this:

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - Linux style  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

foreach my $p ( 1..$NUM_OF_PRCS  ) {
    if (!defined($kidpid = fork())) {
        warn "Cannot fork: $!";
    } elsif ($kidpid == 0) {
       # sleep 3;
        # do whatever U do	
        exit 0;
    }
    else {
        push @CHLDRN,$kidpid;
         if (scalar @CHLDRN>$MAX_PRCSS_AT_THE_SAME_TIME){
            my $d=wait ();
            $CHLDRN[ index_of( $d) ] = $CHLDRN[$#CHLDRN];	
            delete $CHLDRN[$#CHLDRN];
        }
    }
}               # -----  end foreach  -----


and on windows I do it like that:

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Windows style - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

foreach my $p ( 1..$NUM_OF_PRCS  ) {

	my $process_obj;
	#sleep 1; 
	foreach my $x (1..1000){;}
	Win32::Process::Create($process_obj,
			                    $PERL_EXE,
                                qq{perl -e "print "$$  \n" },		
		# this is like do somthing above
                                0,
                                NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                                ".")|| die ErrorReport();

    
    	push @CHLDRN,$process_obj;
      
	if (scalar @CHLDRN>$MAX_PRCSS_AT_THE_SAME_TIME){
		$process_obj=shift @CHLDRN; 
		$process_obj->Wait(INFINITE);
	}
