I'm still trying to figure out where it gets the PID's it uses, though...

Linux:
sauer@pyro:~ > perl -e 'print "$$\n";print fork(), "\n";'
1319
1320
0
sauer@pyro:~ > perl -e 'print "$$\n";print fork(), "\n";'
1321
1322
0


Windows 98:
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>perl -e "print $$, \"\n\"; print fork(), \"\n\";"
-4135235
4178007
0

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>perl -e "print $$, \"\n\"; print fork(), \"\n\";"
-4135235
4178007
0

At least the zero makes sense... :)

--Danny, who assumes that's the console's PID since it doesn't change
