"Bizarre SvTYPE [96]" error occured when creating the fork	Can't Post

Hi,

When i executed this piece of code on windows the following error " Bizarre SvTYPE [96] " is occured.

if (!defined($child_pid = fork())) {
die "cannot fork: $!";
}
elsif ($child_pid) {
print "i am parent\n";
print "my child_id ", $child_pid, "\n";
}
else{
print "i am child\n";
}

Please let me know the solution.

I don't know but maybe you can look through the results of a goggle search:

I have the same problem. Really hoping someone can help. I have looked online for any solutions... All of them say "You need to check that your process is a zero before asking it to do anything"... and that's exactly what my code does (!) so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error...

My code:
#parse_file is a subroutine

Code

        my $pid = fork(); 
        if ($pid == 0) { 
          parse_file($file); 
          exit; 
        } else { 
          sleep 1; 
          wait; 
        } 
        while (wait() != -1) {}

My error:
#line 220 is the one above that reads my $pid= fork();
Bizarre SvTYPE [204] at process.pl line 220.

Please help!
