Hi Paul,
A process becomes COMPLETE when it is reaped internally to the Forks::Super
module (with CORE::waitpid) but doesn't become REAPED until its pid is
returned from a call to Forks::Super::wait or Forks::Super::waitpid .
Like the regular wait and waitpid calls, each child process id will only
be returned once.
I'm glad your enjoying this module. Please feel free to let me know if you
have any other questions or comments.
