Re: [perl #128227] vfork should be used for spawning externalprocesses

Configure has a question about whether to use vfork(), warning that 
"perl can only use vfork() that doesn't suffer from severe limitations".

If you're going down this road, you should start your research by 
exploring this lead.

Besides, posix_spawn() is the current POSIX standard that is intended to 
replace vfork() that apparently didn't do well enough in practice.
