Async This module runs some code in a separate process and retrieves its result. Since the code is running in a separate process, your main program can continue with whatever it was doing while the separate code is executing. This separate code is called an *asynchronous computation*. INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution. It should be installed with whichever tool you use to manage your installation of Perl, e.g. any of cpanm . cpan . cpanp -i . Consult http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html for further instruction.
