"System Programming in Perl: The Unix Process Model"
Mark-Jason Dominus
This talk will explore the way the Unix operating system handles process creation and command execution. including details of the essential Perl functions 'fork' and 'exec'. We'll see how this affects the design of certain Unix commands, including the shell, 'ls', 'nice', 'sudo', 'nohup', 'inetd', 'less', 'chroot', and 'cd', with code examples in Perl. I'll also show Perl code that implements a replacement for the Unix shell.
