perl Fock & DBI problem

[Michael]

Hi, thank you for taking your previous time to read the following
problem that I face.

I'm trying to create multiple child process and TESTCODE 1 work fine,
however if I try to connect to MYSQL (TESTCODE 2) before calling the
subroutine "testmail2" , I would never get the expected result. I would
appreciate if anyone would be so kind to help me solve the problem or
suggest an alternative solutions. My objective is to create mutiple
child process using the data pull-out from the MYSQL.

Thanks.
Michael
TESTCODE 1
===========
@names=("Sandy" , "Sally", "Sarah", "Sue","imgoingc razy","WHYYYYYY Y");
&testmail2(@nam es);

sub testmail2
{
#databae,conten t,mailing counter
my @sqlarray = @_;
my $item;
my $cpro=0;
my $arraylen = int @sqlarray;

foreach $item(@sqlarray )
{
my $cpid = fork();
die unless defined $cpid;
if (! $cpid)
{
print "$item<br>\ n";
srand();
sleep(int rand(1) + 1);
exit(0);
}
}

#wait for all child process ended
while ((my $cpid = wait()) != -1)
{
$cpro++;
if($cpro >=$arraylen)
{
print "Proceeding to next mailing. Please Wait<br>\n";
last;
}
else
{
print " Entered $cpro<br>";
}
}

return 1;
}

Good result 1
