Title: unknown

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

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

Either external programs or perl subroutines can be launched and controlled
as processes in the background.

A 10-second sleep process, for example, can be launched as an external
program as in

$myproc->start("/bin/sleep 10"); # or
$myproc->start("/bin/sleep", "10");

or as a perl subroutine, as in

sub mysleep { sleep(shift); } # Define mysleep()
$myproc->start(\&mysleep, 10); # Launch it.

or even as

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

The _start_ Method returns immediately after starting the specified process
in background, i.e. there's no blocking. It returns _1_ if the process has
been launched successfully and _0_ if not.

The _poll_ method checks if the process is still running

$running = $myproc->poll();

and returns _1_ if it is, _0_ if it's not. Finally,

$myproc->kill();

terminates the process by sending it the SIGTERM signal. As an option,
another signal can be specified.

$myproc->kill("SIGUSR1");

sends the SIGUSR1 signal to the running process. _kill_ returns _1_ if it
succeeds in sending the signal, _0_ if it doesn't.

The methods are discussed in more detail in the next section.

A destructor is provided so that a signal can be sent to the forked
processes automatically should the process object be destroyed or if the
process exits. By default this behaviour is turned off (see the
kill_on_destroy and signal_on_destroy methods).
