If you've run code coverage on your Perl, then you're already familiar with this author's work. He brought us Devel::Cover back in 2001 (or even earlier?) and it continues to be his labour of love even to this day. PJCJ has kindly authored today's article on getting things done faster with Parallel::ForkManager.
