It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such as CGI scripts from a web server), which can be faster (and more well behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes. . Special care has been taken to make this module useful from other modules, while still supporting specialised environments such as App::Staticperl or PAR::Packer.
