Dear Perl users,

i am a beginner with Perl language, so i apply to your kind attention to

know if someone can help me or just give me some suggestion about the
problem explained below.

i have to analyse several DNA sequences (almost 1,000,000) and I want
to
use my four machine to distribute in parallel this work:


| -----> rcp (sequence.1) ----> run (blast sequence.1)
master |-----> rcp (sequence.2) ----> run (blast sequence.2)
|-----> rcp (sequence.3) ----> run (blast sequence.3)
|----->rcp (sequence.4) -----> run (blast sequence.4)


and then get back the results. I have to use fork()? or how can i use
parallel:PVM?


Thanking in advance


Anto.

I use OpenMosix at our cluster, and Parallel::ForkManager.
